WTF?? Can't remove the oilpan!
 
I had my local indy shop install the Bilt Racing LN 2 quart deep sump with baffle on my 986. Now I want to transfer the deep sump kit to my Cayman which is the new track car. https://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/smart/SuperCart-Track.cgi?Order_Id=1580951535-365&command=lookup

I removed every bolt and separated the gasket, but the pan won't come off! It's like it is being held in place by the baffle. How do I remove the sump plate and the spacer?

The sealant probably has glued the pan to the case. Mine was like that, I had to pry it off after hitting it with a rubber mallet.

Maybe have the guys that installed the deep sump look at it.

There is a gasket between the horizontal baffle and the deep sump spacer, but that horizontal baffle has sealant gluing it to the engine (that's how I installed mine, I wish I had put the gasket as the final piece between the whole assembly and the engine, but it didn't work that way.) I think you will have to try and get a wedge in between and pry off that flat plate. I would expect that the pan bottom and spacer would come off once you took the bolts out. Maybe it was installed using sealant between all pieces?
