I usually put the plug back in and then let the torque pull the pan off as
I tighten it.
Or you could put the plug in and use it as a leverage point to just pry it
off. Don't pry against the cases, but a steel part like the frame.

| I was getting impatient waiting for my shop manual to arrive, so I decided to pull the oil pan on my '70 Ambo tonight. It looked pretty straight-forward, so I pulled out 14 bolts and gave it a few taps with a light hammer, but it's not budging. I thought about prying it but stopped short to avoid the possibility of damage. Are there any other bolts that need to be removed besides the 14 on the bottom or anything else that needs to be done to get the pan off? I know the pan has never been off before, so it may just be that it needs a little persuading. Better safe than sorry though. Thanks, Donny |
