Sometimes the sump can be very difficult to separate from the block--particulary if its been there for a while.

Don't lose the split pin if you need to take the drag link off to get the sump out!
Hope that makes sense and gives you a pointer a well!

I ended up having to use a portapower ram between the chassis and a corner of the sump to break mine free. Carefull when tightening the bolts at the very back, as they screw into the aluminium surround of the main oil seal retainer.
