<p>so you siliconed your pan in place? yep...will be a bitch.</p>
<p>As you mentioned little to no room... you can use a paint can
opener...looks like a beer bottle opener at one end, and a tiny
crowbar at the other.<br>
You can use a piece of wood ( suggest a 1x2" piece of oak, any big
box store) wedged between frame and the back side of the opener as
you wiggle the mini crowbar end into the groove between pan and
block, working your way around little by little ... using the wood
the force the crowbar end into the groove.</p>
<p>option 2... use the wood and a heavy trapezoid shaped utility
knife blade (no handle) and wedge the blade in to cut the
silicone. (be prepared to break a few tips so have a couple on
hand) <br>
</p>
<p>Next build.... gasket on a very flat table, silicone on the
gasket,,,then gently sit the pan on the gasket and let it sit to
set up. This leave a flexible and very flat surface. Blue Hylomar
on the gasket to block surface, then torque to spec. EASY to
remove and should never leak BTDT for 40 years now or 10's of
cars with none ever leaking.</p>
