[madsupra88]

Guys, im trying to take this oil pan off of the 1J, but the fucker wont budge, there is no place for me to put a flat head in there to pry it! i cant even fit a razor blade in at all! any one know of a technique to get this thing off. that toyota black silcone is some tough shit.
here is what im talkin about.

Thanks

IJ i snapped two flat head screwdrivers trying to pry there lol.

But i finally got it off! i actually lifter the motor on the hoist, and hopped on top of the motor with one foot on each side of the pan and kept jumping lol, finally came out!

Thnx for the help guys

Have trouble explaining that one at the ER

"Sir you appear to have a 1Jz stuck in your ass"

"Honest I slipped and fell on it" :runaway:

=] I like how the 1Jz and 2JZ engines have that area to pry from. Mine came off perfectly when I just got done with the swap.

Aply a little heat with a good hot air gun, or careful use of a small propane torch.
That will soften any sealer (glue) on it.
