removing the oil pan
Ok I had a leak coming from the front of the pan. So I thought all I had to do was remove all the bolts and the pan would come off. Well I have done this, beat and pryed on the pan and now, have it all out of shape and it has not budged a bit is there a trick into getting the dang thing off? thanks...Brett

Are "ALL" of the bolts out?
Also sounds like you need to get a putty knife and "carefully" tap between the pan and block to break the seal/gasket.

Or is it loose and can not get it past the pump? You will need to jack the motor up to get the pan past the pump. On my son's I had to jack it up till it was hitting the firewall. Then I finally had enough clearence to remove the pan.
