6th gen oil pan removal

Wondering if anyone has any information about removing an oil pan on a 2004 monte carlo SS?

Anything information at all will be appreciated, hoping its just as easy as changing the transmission pan.

I have no idea what a cradle is so I believe its time to google the process.

Is it difficult to remove the cradle?

I might look into an oil extractor if it is difficult to remove the cradle, read about them and it might be a possible solution.

The cradle holds the engine up in a unibody car.

It's not difficult to drop, but without the right tools it can be
