[TR] Stuck Oil Pan

[David Friedlander]

My thanks to all who provided insights and "next time" ideas for my "stick"
TR3 oil pan. I am happy to report [finally] success!

The ingredients for this success were:
- Not giving up
- A loooooonnnnng, large, flat-blade screwdriver
- A BFH
- And a creative angle/approach for the above.
     tools, to reach the front lip of the pan

The only casualty of this struggle is the front aluminum sealing block,
heavily dinged by the above-mentioned screwdriver. Though the part
is NLS by the usual sources, I believe I have found one on eBay.

Now, let's try this again. On to the Blue Hylomar!

Thanks again to all who responded!

Dave
