I told you fool,

You gotta cut the RTV loose and pry that **** off there

 

u prolly have to have the engine out, ive never taken an oil pan off a car that had an engine frame....

 

Im pretty sure that you xcan drop the oil pan without taking the whole engine out.,



You might be getting snagged up on the strainer but I don't see how.

 

You do know that the motor mounts have to be off..

 

The motor mounts are off and the pan is away from the block.I am just gonna clean the old RTV off and seal it with some new. It won't comeout of the fram and free from the car so i will just deal with it the way it is. Thanks guys

 

Hit it with a hammer..
