1, drain oil
2, remove flywheel cover
3, remove all sump bolts
4, prise the sump off (the sealant will still be gluing it in place) Pull it away carefully so as to not hit the oil pickup which hangs down from the engine to the bottom of the sump.
At this point i left the sump off overnight to get as much oil out as possible, because if some oil dribbles down onto the mating surface, the sealent wont stick at that point and leave a gap.
5, use a stanley blade to scrape all sealent off the block - take your time with this step, dont skimp on it.
6, check the sump in place. it can be fiddly to put on especially near the flywheel end, so this practice will do you good.
7, put a continuos bead of sealent right around the mating surface on the sump.
8, place the sump in position and start replacing the bolts.
9, when the sealent had dried, you might want to trim excess sealent near the flywheel and crankshaft pully.
10, replace flywheel cover
11, remove and replace oil filter
12, fill with oil.
13, take it around the block and then cross your fingers when you park up and check for leaks
