there is a pry point on the block as well, the bolts should easily separate the pan though if you have them all out. I would double check you have all the bolts out. There are bolts in the inside of the motor for the upper pan and outside, there are bolts that go through the pan into the trans. two 10mm nuts that secure it to the rear main seal housing.

If you got these, then it's just a matter of coaxing the rtv to let go.

It comes down about a inch on the pulley side but on the transmission side its just stuck on the back... It broke it free from the front with using the screw but it wont do it on the back side of the engine. All of the bolts are for sure for sure out i spent like 20 mins looking it over and they are all out

You said you got the two 10mm by the transmission. These were 10mm nuts correct?

Aside from that, I think there are some 14mm bolts that go into the upper oil pan sideways from the transmission, right?

You best be sure the two 10mm nuts are out, otherwise you're going to crack the pan if you try forcing it out. They're the 2 in the center on the right side of this pic.

Its a tight fit sometimes Just got to pry down evenly assuming you took those two nuts off. Sometimes its just tight because of the space plate pushing against the studs.
