I'm pulling off the lower oilpan to check for loose upper pan bolts... and can't get the bugger off! I'm guessing someone RTV'd her up there (!!!)
I took out 16 11mm bolts. Can't see any other bolts. I tried knocking her around bit with a rubber mallet.... doesn't budge a bit. Tried prying lightly with a 2x4 against the steering rack... but that didn't seem terribly smart.
I see that there are three tabs on the pan (two on front one on back of pan.) The tab on the back was broken off by the DPO. Looks like the tabs could be useful, but not sure how. Is there a special tool for knocking the pan off?
Any advice on getting that bugger lower oil pan loose?
Thanks again.
