I used a short stub length drill with a right angle drill to do mine. AC was removed but PS was still in and plumbed. I'll look for the drill when I get back from TX.

I typically unbolt some of the brackets holding the A/C and/or P/S lines down to get enough clearance. I don't think the AC compressor moves.

If I were drilling a pan in the car, I'd look for a right-angle drill. Something like this:

That's an impact :)
HF has your back for $29. I've used it for other projects (never a pan), and it is crappy but usable. http://www.harborfreight.com/38-in-v...ill-60610.html |
All my power tools are Makita 18v, but their right angle drill is only a 3/8" chuck. I haven't looked to see if you can get a 37/64 or 9/16 drill in 3/8" chuck.

Half inch right-angle drill: http://www.homedepot.com/catalog/pro...95ea0b_400.jpg http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee...7-20/205462851 Another option is to put the 37/64 drill in a lathe so it fits in the 3/8" chuck. You don't need a lot of torque to drill an aluminum pan. :) --Ian |

Put bit in lathe. Turn down to 3/8.
Put bit in mill. Cut face for drill. Put bit in drill. Drill pan. |

So is the feed high enough? As in is it above the oil level in pan when the car is running so that the turbo oil can drain easily?
