Trouble dropping the oil pan in my Disco

[vcongine]

I have all of the bolts out and this thing will not drop. I'm doing the oil pump and it need to come down anyway but it has been a pain. Any suggestions?

Disco oil pans are sealed with 'Right Stuff' or similar high build rtv silocone. A prybar or rubber mallet will be required to break the seal. Be carefull not to pry on the sealing edge!

I went around the side of the pan with a plastic tool used to smooth spackle. This thing does not want to come down. I used a pry bar and it moves a little then pops back up. I don't want to damage the oil pan. Just keep prying?
