I got a 1992 F150 with a 4.9L Inline 6 and the oil pan needs a new gasket and ive got all the bolts off but it wont come off. And its got a standard trans.

Try with a putty knife

Keep prying it should come off.

i know you said the bolts are all out but.... theres one on each side of the pan where it goes around the main caps that are very easy to overlook. otherwise, im jumping in the putty knife boat.

Thanks guys i used a putty knife and used some high-temp form-a-gasket on it and i got all but 3 bolts on the front of it on the passenger side they wont screw in the try to go in sideways and i dont want to mess up the threads whats a solution to this????

Im going to assume you tightened the bolts as you put them in. Loosen all of the bolts to where they're threaded just enough to not fall out. Then, you can move the pan around enough to get all the bolts started straight. Once they're all started, follow the recommend sequence to avoid warping the pan.

just gonna have to keep wiggling, and maneuvering, loosen, tighten, etc etc
