Non frontera help

I'm changing a sump on a 57 punto , the sump on is on with silicone gasket ( the original sump ) i can't get it off ! Any ideas ! All bolts are off , it's just the gasket holding it on !!!!
It's driving me mad

Unfortunately I had the same on a punto. It's a case of a long bladed Stanley and lots of time sweat and swearing

I'm starting to wish I didn't do favours for friends !!!!!!!
Temped to just sand the original and arildite ( spelt wrong ) the bugger she is selling end of July ( loan paid ) !!!! .......

7 hours to do a sump and service !!!!! On the plus side she is babysitting tomorrow evening so me and the wife can head of for the evening !!!!
Never ever again will I touch a fiat

Fiat aka Fix It Again Tony!

A mate was in dire straights when his Fiat Panda headgasket blew, would I help?
Ok, I said, you get the parts and we
will start 9am sharp the next morning.
Turned up and the car was in a 'field' beside his house.
Mate proudly announced he had a mechanics manual
for the car.
All goes well until the head wouldn't budge, referred to the manual, a belter of a book written
in italian! The carb and distributor had to come off too.
Still, 3.30pm the engine fired up a treat and saw a few more years of life. But fiats? Arghh!.
