Re: CJ oil pan removal
Be certain all the bolts are out. I'd also suggest you pull the right side
mount (support the trans with a jackstand first.)
FWIW, rather than using the old multi-piece pan gasket, replace it with a
new, one-piece type gasket. Much easier to install & won't leak like the old
ones.

Re: CJ oil pan removal
Are you SURE you got all of the bolts out?
If you are sure, then you can use a screwdriver to GENTLY pry the pan away
from the block.

Re: CJ oil pan removal
Tell that to my 88 MJ! The first time I pulled the pan it was a close
battle which I finally won - that cork gasket had been cemented with
something that must have approximated JB Weld! I finally got it off
using a sharpened putty knife that was really thin and flexible but
that was the hardest gasket I ever tried to pull - took several times
as long to clean it off as the rest of the entire job. Turned a 2
hour exercise into an all day battle.
But I do agree with the advice. Oh, the hours I've wasted trying to
pull off a part with that one hidden bolt left...
