I've done this many times ... but on this engine, I just can't get this buggar to budge. I huess Ernie did it right when he sealed the GT pan ... SHEESH!!!

You need to take all the bolts out first.

The pan on my '91GT donor motor had been glued on with some black goo of some sort. I tapped on it gently for a while and then got pissed off and got out the 3 pound deadblow hammer, turned the engine upside down and hit up on the underside harder and harder until it finally gave. Felt like I was going to break the pan in half.

I have a couple of spare pans Rob ... the thought had crossed my mind.

If it has the original gasket that s being replaced Id force it off in several locations with a scraper.

Failing that a larger version of...............BFH

LOL, yea what he said !

A dead blow hammer shouldn't hurt the pan at all. Thats what I would use.

Dave928S

Plastic or wooden wedges placed at intervals around the pan and then a tap with a hammer on each one in sequence has worked for me ... used that method on lots of other diff and gearbox covers too. Saves beating the s**t out of things.

Dave yes my thoughts too.
