Trying to get my friends oil pan off from his H22 but it wont budge. Took off all the bolts already and it still wont come loose. Try to cut around the seems w/ an razor blade, but can't even get the blade to fit.

any other ideas on how to remove it?

 

remove all oil pan nuts and bolts and theres a couple of bolts on the rear main seal holding the oil pan on.

 

someone probably used a gasket kit..or silly-con gaskit to stick the sucker on there...did you take all the bolts off? check again!

 

well its a 99 prelude bought brand new. so this is the first time removing the oil pan. I'll go check again. thanks.

 

I know my b series motor you have to remove the flywheel cover to get to 2 more bolts ot remove the oil pan. May not be the same on h22's but jsut a suggestion.

 

i also had to remove my flywheel cover........it took some prying but eventually it came off......get a real thin flat head screw driver........see if you can tap it in there with a hammer and pry it off..... (and remember, never re-use this gasket)
