I have to change my oil pan because it's rusted and leaking, I have disconnected the engine mounts and lifted the motor as high as I can but the oil pan will still not slip out, what else do I have to do to get the oil pan out?

Thanks,
Mike

Make sure the fan is not hitting the radiator or the shroud, the shroud should be disconnected and then the engine pivoted upwards. After that is done and hte engien is lifted and secured the pan should slide right off.

Yep, here you go, let me know if you need more help. Take a picture or a short video and upload it here in your response.

1. Remove the bolts attaching the fan shroud to the radiator and position the fan shroud over the fan assembly.
2. Remove the upper intake manifold.
3. Raise the vehicle.
4. Remove exhaust manifold exhaust pipe.
5. Disconnect the oil cooler line at the left side of the radiator if equipped with an automatic transmission.
6. Remove the nuts and lock washers attaching the engine support insulators to the chassis bracket.
7. Drain the crankcase.
8. Loosen transmission mounting nuts.
9. Raise the engine and place wood blocks securely under the engine supports.
10. Remove the oil pan attaching bolts and lower the oil pan onto the crossmember.
11. Remove the two bolts attaching the oil pump screen cover and tube to the oil pump. Remove nut attaching oil pump screen cover and tube to the number 3 main bearing cap stud. Lower the oil pump screen cover and tube into the oil pan.
12. Remove the oil pan from the vehicle.
