Won't it unscrew and slide right out? What seems to be the problem?
Oil level sensor ?

I pulled the old sensor off and the gasket is hard as a rock and just turns.

I have pried on mine (not hard) and it has not budged, I am going to pry harder and if a piece goes into my pan. Going to make you guys come over and get it out.

Just had to scrape the thing off the outside of the pan. There was nothing inside the hole.

What exactly are you prying on? The gasket or the sensor itself? The sensor threads into the pan. The gasket, flat or o-ring style, fits over the threads of the oil level sensor and presses flat against the outside of the pan. If the gasket is stuck, then screw the sensor into the pan a couple threads. Then use a gasket scraper or a brand new <=== important razor and ***gently*** tap/scrape around the perimeter of the gasket. Don't whack it because if it lets go you'll slam the scraper or razor into the sensor and likely break it.
