Oil pan removal

Starkiller · 06-09-2007, 02:07 PM

Hey, I need some suggestions as to what to use to cut the oil pan gasket material without damaging the mating surface. FSM states to use an oil pan cutter, local auto stores don't carry anything like that.

In a bind right now.

Or a thin putty knife from the hardware store.

Hmm, thin putty knife might do it, thank you.
