hi, been there done that..... as far as i can remember, u jack / lift the emgine up as far as it can go. undo all the sump bolts, then i think u have to remove the oil pickup, let it drop in the sump, then u should be able to manuvere the sump out.............. i think u also have to remove the engine mount(s) cause the sump will need to be moved around..... i think also on one l series where i dropped the sump, i couldnt quiet get it out , so i just put the sump all the way to one side , did me thing then bolted it back up.
