how do i pull the oil pick up tube in order to get the oil pan off?

The gasket would tend to stick and you need a wooden block or mallet to tap the oil pan loose to get it off. The removal procedure does not mention anything about removing the pickup tube.

i tried that and it still wont budge

the pan is stuck on the pick up tube and the bell housing for the trans

Check and ensure all bolts have been removed and try tapping harder. Even if the pickup tube is stuck, you should be able to have the oil pan dislodged from its stuck position.

ok thanks
