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

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.
