Can't Remove OILPAN!!

Hi guys, could anyone give me some advice on removing the oil pan, I found one thread on the forum where they talk about how it easily fell out and tried all their methods and none worked. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-p...il-pan-844542/
I've also tried hitting with a rubber mallet from every direction and it will not budge.

Have you try spraying some degreaser around the edges? I remember doing that on my Mazda long ago, let it sit, then whack it the rubber mallet and it work for me.

Pry bar, flat head, or a blade will work too; just take your time.

I got it, thanks guys. It was done by using a 1x1 block of wood and whacking that tab like ekrekel recommended, just have to give it a good whack.
