187 Pan Removal

Ok, all helpful.
I think I'll make sure I can get to all the bolts, and if so remove them all.
If for some reason the gasket is free, I don't see any harm in just wiping the surfaces down and replacing.
If not, try to swing the CL out of the way and see if there is enough clearance.
If not, raise engine with crane a bit.

I need to get the darn trans back in so this thing can be moved, but I find hard to just leave this as is while it's staring me in the face.
