Default Oil Pan Stuck - 1.8T AWM

Hello, I'm in the middle of changing my oil pan and it seems to be very stuck to the block. I have all the bolts removed (to the block: 18 small bolts, two large bolts, to the trans: two bolts plus one nut bolt). I pried/whacked the front of it off and I *think* that the rear section (towards the trans) is still "glued" to the block by the gasket sealant, but I'm not 100%. I have enough room to take it out if it detaches (trans/engine jacked up), but it just seems to keep pivoting on that one point. Any suggestions/ideas? TIA.

Did you take the bolts out that are inside the bellhousing?

Default No, I did not.

There are two of them mounted up by the transmission accessable through two holes? That would probably be it, but I don't recall seeing anywhere on the new pan to put another bolt?

There may be. Worth checking.
