I've got the pan loose but I'm having trouble getting the oil pan out from under the motor. I am not able to get it past the flywheel (which is exposed). Any tricks to this? I'm afraid that the tranny is the problem. I've tried jacking up areas but this didn't help. I didn't think this would be so difficult.
Also, I've got the front end down to the pully. Any tricks to getting this off easily?

Make shure the counter weight on number 1 cyl. is up in the engine. The pully bolts to the front of the damper with 3 bolts & the damper bolt. You must use a puller that uses the taped holes in the damper. Screw the balancer bolt partway in to push against. Do not pull from the outer edges of the damper.

If it is in the down possition the pan hangs up on it makeing it impossible to get the pan off with the engine in the truck. If it is in the down possition turn the engine till it is positioned up in the upper part.
