This past weekend my crank rod bearing has just blown. dropped the oil pan and alot of grinded metal. ripping the whole motor apart now, hopefully not to much damage. i got a problem though. between the oil pan an bottom block there is a Deep Sump Oil Pan that wont come loose. i got all the bolts off..any thoughts?
 
If it is what I think, you have to remove the tranny and rotate the pressure plate to a specific position. There are two bolts that holds this part on each side of the shaft bearing. It really is a pain in the ass to remove, believe me!
