I'm guessing based on previous experience on other motors, but I believe you need to remove the timing chain cover to drop the oil pan.
And I'm not sure what your looking for with the wheel turning part.

Start another thread for that, because this one is titled oil pan.

Seems like you need to replace the rotors&bearings+newbrake pads. Pick up a repair manual to help with the sequence of removal, re-instals.
