If you're already pulling the motor out why are you asking how to get the washer out? Just pull the motor, drop the oil pan and grab the washer. [Confused]

Don't pull the motor. Get yourself a motor support brace. The kind I use for K-member swaps allows you to remove the K-member and oil pan without removing the motor. This would be much easier. The brace would run ya maybe $60-$70

Well it sounds like the motor is on its way out anyhow. With the pan out you would have access to most everything from under the car but in any case good luck
