Yes. You may have to rock it back and forth a little but it will come right off. The important part is installing the pickup correctly. It needs to be touching the bottom of the oil pan slightly when it is in the correct place. That's with the oil pan gaskets in place.

do you put thread lock or the thread sealant? also do you know what that hole next to is for does it need to be covered? its not my picture just one i found? and also am i puting gasket maker arount the whole pan or just the ends?
