ok so i'm taking off my oil pan to tap it and it wont come off i took all the bolts out but it still wont drop i even tapped around the edges ..................anyone

 

Okay, youre sure you removed all the bolts? There should be 15 bolts that hold the pan to the engine and you need to remove the lower a/c compressor bolts too.

Then its just a matter of prying. The sealant that is used is good stuff. Its strong.(make sure you use the same stuff when you go back on, Permatex offers it now, Ultra Grey, i think its #82194

 

so i got the same issue....as i was trying to pry the thing off....it just wouldnt budge...i started kicking it and hammering at it with a rubber mallet.....any other suggestions for me?


well after about an hour of not being able to get it off i just put everything back together...but if someone knows a good way of doing it please let me know wat the trick is.....and yes i took all the bolts off....i triple checked...help me please

 

There is no trick, just pry it off. There should locations on the corners near the transmission where you can get a good bite with a pry bar. You can try heating it up along the rail to make the sealant a little more plyable, but honestly Ive never had to resort to that, a deadblow/soft faced hammer and some prying implements is all you need.

 

i hope so....ill probably get to it later....oh and do u remember wat size the feed line nipple was....was it a 4an to 3/8"npt or was it a 4an to 1/4"npt

 

yea .. like he said its just amatter of pryin the hell out of it ... the sealnt they use is tough hitting it with a hammer really isnt going to do the job ..
