What are you going to do after pulling the pan? You called yourself a novice, so unless there’s a verified reason to pull the pan, don’t!!! If you’re not schooled in Babbitt bearing and assembly and not realizing the pan is part of the oil seal mechanism, you may be asking for more than you want to deal with, at this point of “model A ing “ not to mention causing more problems.
