Drain the oil first as if your doing an oil change. undo all the bolts around the entire perimeter of the oil pan. drop it down.scrape the old gasket off of both the pan and the engine where it was mounted. Clean both surfaces well. put the new gasket on the pan and reverse the instructions for removal. jump from bolt to bolt in an crisscross pattern or else it won't seal right replace the drain plug may as well replace the oil filter and add new oil.
SOURCE: Need torque specs for oil pan gasket
There likely is a spec for oil pan but unless you are a finatic, you really don't need to know what it is. Simple rule: Don't crank down ******* any fastener. If corners near crank ends have larger fasteners, you can tighten them a bit more than on siderails. Before tightening anything, install all bolts finger tight, to ensure that they are not cross threaded. To avoid warping pan, tighten from the center of the pan, working towards both ends, alternating from side to side as you go. When you are finished, go over it again, using the same amount of force on each bolt. As I said, end bolts can if larger in diameter, be tightened more but be careful not to tighten so much that you will either split or push the gasket out the sides.. Anywhere two gasket ends **** together, I recommend using a sensor -safe dab of silicone. An oil pan is not under any mechanical stress or pressure. I have used this method for many years and NEVER had one leak. If you really need #s, small fasteners get about 12-15in lbs, larger ones about 20.

Installation Procedure
Important: The alignment of the structural oil pan is critical. The rear bolt hole locations of the oil pan provide mounting points for the transmission bellhousing. To ensure the rigidity of the powertrain and correct transmission alignment, it is important that the rear of the block and the rear of the oil pan must NEVER protrude beyond the engine block and transmission bellhousing plane.

I found if you lock the glove compartment this will disable the boot from opening. Check the solenoid on the glove compartment is not switched shut. Hope this helps.

The engine does have to be raised. The bolts are not easy to get to until the engine is lifted and the engine mount is removed. I'm doing this job right now and the book time is around 5 hours.
