Now that i look at the oil pan... it looks like its been caulked or JB welded on. Its got some dryed ooze coming out of it. Is that the gasket? or is that ---- glued on? I tried prying, pounding and tried the bolt in the drain plug, What the hell should i do now??

It sounds like someone used some gorilla snot (liquid gasket maker) on it. I'd get a pry bar with a 90º angle to it and just jam it under and get it broken apart enough to get a razor blade around it to cut it off. If it was JB welded on, you're screwed. You'll just have to beat it till the seal breaks and plan on buying a new oil pan.

Mine was as hard as you describe. I came on here half way through the install and asked everyone in chat WTF to do. They all said "It should come off..." etc, etc.
I know how it feels. You REALLY have to beat the ---- out of it... and once it cracks, you'll know it. Then it slides off like butter. We had me and my friend hanging on it... (almost 400lbs...), etc etc. Just NAIL it from all sides, as hard as you can. It will give. I spent almost 3 hours doing it to both mine and my freinds D. NO FUN, but the turbo is :P

Good luck.

Ok. tonight im taking a huge mallot to it, Got a right angled crow bar, and a puddy knife to jam in it with a hammer. Im going to try everything you all said and let you know how it went.
Thanks for the help

DONT pry it off!!! there is a sealant put on the oil pan gasket from the factory that creates a seal. i generally just tap on the pan from all sides w/ a rubber mallet and it falls right off. just tap the pan on the sides. not extremely hard but with a little force and you'll break the seal easy.

I got it off after i beat the absolute Friggen ---- out of it. It was the biggest pain in my life.

thanks for the help guys
