okay thanks for the help in advance
tring to remove the oil pan to weld a bung for oil return for my turbo setup. i removed ALL 23 bolts that is all of them 2 on the trans housing the 2 on the a/c comp and the 19 10mm bolts. this pan wont bundge iv knocked it with a rubber malet i evan broke a screw driver tring to pry the thing off it wont move. should i try heat i dont want to warp anything though. is there something im missing?

 

I had the same problem when I did mine, it turned out I had the two trans housing bolts still connnected, the shop manual didn't list them so I didnt touch them. But as soon as I removed them the pan dropped out easily. I have to think you still have some bolts connected ?, it prys off pretty easily using the pry pad on the passenger side lower block.

You should have removed 25 bolts. On the pan lower side there are 17 short bolts (35mm) , 3 longer bolts (65mm), and one medium bolt (50mm) for a total of 21. Then you have two transmission bolts, and the two a/c bolts. If my numbers are correct I think you have a couple more bolts to remove.

 

^^^ He is right, there are 25 total, but you mentioned getting the a/c and tranny bolts out, so I'm guessing you miscounted your oil pan bolts?

Get a proper prying tool. (not a screw driver), and pry at the "pry point" on the passenger side. There's a gap where you can stick a pry bar in to get it out. On the driver side I used the ac compressor to pry against. You named all the bolts, so I'm guessing you just need the right tool to pry it out.

Honestly mine was on there pretty good and it took some real effort to pry out. But perhaps that was just me being afraid of breaking something.

 

Yeah. It's a bad practice to pry with hardened tools (screw drivers, files, etc). You can get pry bars for dirt cheap at Harbor Freight.
