I cant get my oil pan off for the life of me! All the bolts are off, the flywheel casing is off, every bolt nothing holding it on!

I cant get a screwdriver in there, I cant get it off with a crow bar, and the rubber mallet is being worthless. Any suggestions? I been pounding at it for a while (all day) nothing.

It is cold in my garage will that play any roll in getting the damn thing off? should i warm it up with a heater?

you're not supposed to do this, but get a medium/regular size screwdriver and a hammer it into the crack between the block/pan... do this on about 2-3 different spots and it will come down... just be careful not to scrape the mating surfaces...

Make sure you get all the bolts off, I think there was a post a while back where a guy made that mistake.

Tried talking dirty to it. I think i just pissed it off.
Im considering jamming a screwdriver in the drain hole tearing it down and getting a new oil pan... which will SUCK

I read the last post a guy wrote about this problem. He didnt see two bolts... all mine are off

I think i might buy the biggest baddest rubber mallot, Pull the sucker back and letter rip. and go from there. anyone know how big they make rubber mallots? i want a ****** that is so big its hard to lift

I'd recommend getting a bolt with the same thread as the drail plug and screwing it into the pan. That will give you some leverage to pull on it. It shouldn't be all that hard if you have every nut off. I remember it being a little stubborn, but not as bad as you're making it out to be.
