Re: oil pan help!
Loosen the motor mounts and jack up the front of the engine.
Use a wooden block so you don't damage the balancer.

Re: oil pan help!
 Mine was always a real hooker to get past the flywheel, but I'm not sure what your setup is. Doing what neonlarry said made it much easier.

Re: oil pan help!
I do agree with lifting the motor, but I wouldn't do it with a jack on the balancer. I'd do it with a hoist.

Re: oil pan help!
Line up the balancer on top dead center, It puts the crank throws up and gives more room at the front of the pan to make it easier to remove.
