Oil pan question

[tntperry]

Well I did a big number on my '06 Corolla today. I live on a dirt road and when I was coming home for the third time I came over a small hill and there was a rock in the road that had been to the side. Anyway I couldn't move fast enough to avoid hitting it, it wasn't big enough by it self to hit the underside of my car but my tire caught the edge of it and threw it into my oil pan. Thankfully I stopped and immediately turned off my car, got out and saw the oil. I was sick, in fact after I called my husband to tell him I started crying. LOL Anyway we got it towed to the house and I have an oil pan ordered but was wondering how much trouble it is to replace. Our mechanic is looking into what all it entails(he's never worked on newer Toyota's) but I'm impatient is he going to be able to do this at the house or will we have to take in to the shop.

I have never done it before but there are 14 bolts and 2 nuts to remove. The gasket may be stuck on. It doesn't see all that different than dropping the tranny pan but bigger. Some of the bolts maybe hard to access.
