Hello, and welcome to the forum! Please let us know your name. I guess I have to ask - why does the pan need to come off? It will probably be necessary to unbolt the motor mounts from the frame brackets, and raise the engine enough to get some wood blocks in to hold it up. Raising it will give you more room to work removing pan bolts as well.
If you can take any pics and post them , that might help too.
