so you siliconed your pan in place? yep...will be a bitch.

As you mentioned little to no room...  you can use a paint can 
opener...looks like a beer bottle opener at one end, and a tiny crowbar 
at the other.
You can use a piece of wood ( suggest a 1x2" piece of oak, any big box 
store) wedged between frame and the back side of the opener as you 
wiggle the mini crowbar end  into the groove between pan and block, 
working your way around little by little ... using the wood the force 
the crowbar end into the groove.

option 2...  use the wood and a heavy trapezoid shaped utility knife 
blade (no handle) and wedge the blade in to cut the silicone. (be 
prepared to break a few tips so have a couple on hand)

Next build.... gasket on a very flat table, silicone on the 
gasket,,,then gently sit the pan on the gasket and let it sit to set 
up.  This leave a flexible and very flat surface. Blue Hylomar on the 
gasket to block surface, then torque to spec. EASY to remove and should 
never leak   BTDT for 40 years now or 10's of cars with none ever leaking.
