Take a wood dowel and using the oil pump hole pry it out (I use garyaodell's method my self)

Just turn pan upside down and drop on the ground. Should pop right out.

A little video here:

Just make sure you drop the pan onto a forgiving surface and it should pop right out

Mine was really sludged up!

What's the biggest hammer you have?
Take that hammer and shake it at the car/part, using good strong choice words, telling the car/part what you want it to do.
Set the hammer down then follow the instruction given in the posts above.

I use an old handle from a sledge hammer or other large handle , put it in the oil pump cut out and pop the tray out of the pan. I have done this several time and it works great.
