Ive pulled all brackets, inspection cover, and sway bar and the pan is still stuck. How do I pull the pick up tube to get the pan down

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.

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.
