You need to take his advise. The reason you need the screwdriver to pop it off is because you have to break the seal on the gasket around the oil pan to get it off. Make sure you buy a new gasket to put back on it before you start.

The guy above me has a good point. Why are you replaceing the bearings and pump? If you spun a bearing, you are going to have to pull this engine out to do this right, because you can't put new bearings onto a chewed up crank.
Since you have to raise the engine anyway to get the oil pan off, you might as well take the trans out and pull the engine and do it right. This is a big job, don't shortcut now, because you WILL regret it later!

remove motor mounts ,, place jack with a block of wood and jack up on the harmonic balancer till it is high enough to get oil pan out

i think of you ought to get the Mustang in case you like that. considering which you're saying you have already had one in case you like it then decide for it. I also have a 2006 Mustang and that i like it! considering which you paintings at a Ford broker you have had exposure to the two automobiles. basically think of however. if your contemporary Mustang worked nicely for what you mandatory it for then a clean Mustang is going to be in fact a similar ingredient in straightforward terms extra contemporary, so which you ought to pass with it! and to no longer point out each and every of the compliments you will recieve using a funky motor vehicle like that! i'm constructive i do no longer could desire to lecture you on Mustangs LoL. :-)

I know you don't need any questions, but..
Why are you changing them? If you spun a bearing, the crank will be screwed up. That will chew up a new bearing pronto.
What did you do if you didn't take his advice? At what point are youin this operation?

what engine is it? if it is a diesel you will have to raise engine high enough to get pan off. you probably should not be doing this job yourself!
