I am taking my oil pan off so

I am taking my oil pan off so I have taken all of the nuts and the pan has dropped about 3/4 of an inch. It seems to be hung up on some thing I can't see anything. I pulled the dip stick and it still wont move. Sorry for asking a stupid question.
Thanks for all of your help

Hey - I've got the record on stupid questions and that's not one.

I think that it is hung up on the dipstick guide tube.

yes the entire dipstick guide tube assembly must be unscrewed from the side of the block and removed before the pan & windage tray assembly will finish dropping out.

it's a lot better & cheaper & smarter to ask than to break things..

I pulled the dip stick tube an

I pulled the dip stick tube and the guide tube and the pan dropped about 1 1/2". Now it is stuck on some thing on the other side. I see the oil temp censor and I will pull that out but that is not what it is catching on.

Success I pulled the temp cens

Success I pulled the temp censor and with a simple adjustment of the angle of the dangle the pan came right off. Thanks for every thing you guys rock.
