Oil pan gasket, hard as rock!

Oil pan gasket, hard as rock!
I dropped the oil pan today to tap the oil pan for a turbo drain and the old gasket is ON the pan... It will not come off I've been chiseling away at it piece by piece... Does any one know of a good way of getting the old gasket off? I tried spraying it with brake cleaner and letting it sit but it hasn't done much good, can I use a torch and burn it off?

scrub scrub and scrub some more... oil pans suck unless you have a hot tank.
you could use a wire wheel but make sure that you spray paint the edges when you're done to keep it from rusting.

Torching is probably not a good idea, you may warp the pan.
As mentioned, a gasket scraper is what you need... http://www.bettymills.com/shop/produ...899&OVNDID=ND1 a wire wheel for a drill will help get the last of it... http://www.makita.com/en-us/Assets/I...brushes/4L.jpg
Also as mentioned, repaint. 94
