Scott, did what did you use to break the seal of the gasket? I when i was looking up the part number (kv10111100, J-37228) it came up with this which is ridiculously expensive
http://www.handsontools.com/Kent-Moore-J-37228-Cutter-Pan-Seal-_p_13140.htmlI also found on another forum someone mentioning a 4 in 1 putty knife (which i have already) for the price Im thinking about trying the below which sounds like it would work, what do you think or how did you do it?
Thanks

Ace, Lowes Home Depot etc there is a tool called a 4 in 1. Its a putty knife with a round cut out on one side and a point on the other edge. As soon as you see it you will see a thousand uses for it, removing pans is just one. Drive the side opposite the point into the gap and then use the leverage to break the bead. I keep a 1 ft piece of iron pipe in the tool box to use as a beater and a mini cheater. Great for hammering in small spaces without smashing the fingers.
And finally, did you have to actually do all this? i don't know if i really want to disconnect and lift everything up myself, At that point it might be worth me paying to have it done if i look again and don't feel comfortable.
