It seems like I've taken half the damn car apart to get to the oil pan. I've pulled all the bolts - including the two under the passenger side axle box. All the ones around the back where the oil pan meets the transmission and I've pulled the power steering pump.


I've been gently prying at the back and front where the pan seems to have supports and using a plastic hammer to try to get this thing loose. It just doesn't want to seem to come off.


I'd appreciate any suggestions on getting this !#$#@#!$!@##@! thing off.
