BMW Repair: 1985 bmw 735i, rubber mallet, bmw 735i


Question
i have to take the oil pan off my 1985 bmw 735i, i have all the bolts off and there is plenty of clearance for me to take it off. it just wont budge and i cant figure out how its supposed to come off

Answer
Should be a m30 engine and be straight forward.
Look at the replacement gasket that I assume you are replacing, count the bolt holes and see if you have that many bolts.
Mite be 1 or 2 that you have missed or cant see.

Failing that being the problem hit the pan with a rubber mallet or a block of wood or if your shure ALL the bolts are out, get a scraper and wedge it in between the block and the pan.

someone may have glued it into place.
