i need help removing the oil pan!!!! need ideas

yes im working on my car this late only becuase its not over 100 degrees here in texas this late heheh

 

Blow torch.

 

already tried but for how long ?

 

hey, what I did with mine was I used some thin blades and stuck them through, slowly chipping away the gasket material. After about half of the pan being chipped through, you can pry the pan open. Good luck!

 

funny story, since mine came with an extra we just nailed mine 1 time with a mallot and it fell off, didnt mess up the pan at all either.

 

anymore ideas ??? please

 

Pry something under there and wedge it off, drain the oil first though!!! <- had to throw the idiot proof comment in there

 

We just used a very short flat head screwdriver and the flat side of the hammer till it came loose. But i don't know if that damaged the pan, as we had a new one to install.
Someone else said a torch, which I had, but I was under there, looking at the flame right next to the hole where I removed the oil filter, and i was like "SCREW THAT!"

 

yeah if onli i had an extra oil pan then i would prolly just hammer it off or something but i dont so i gotta be careful with this 1

 

Dezod's instructions say what krazy said to do, and push small blades through to chip away at the sealant. Then hammer a flat head in to start prying it off.

 

when my s/c was put on...we torched the crap out of the oil pan and then banged the crap out of it and after about 15 minutes...it came off...okay maybe 30 minutes...it's a huge PITA!!

 

reach down between your legs, grab a fistfull of nuts, and realize that your a man. then put your mighty man strength into it, and make that toyota sealent your b!tch.

 

haha. Yeah that sealent is somwthing serious.

 

I agree with dezod and krazy, use razor blades, thats what I did with mine, and it work like a charm. Or if you wanna be really lazy and spend another $100 bucks I can order you a pre-tapped S/C oil pan here from work and ship it to you.

 

Guess im lucky that my oil pan just fell off then huh. lol

 

here's a less than 10 min way to get it off......take your passenger side wheel off, so you can work through the wheel well.....get a blowtorch, like with propane, and sit there for about 2-3 min burning away the gasket.....then scrape away the stuff after its been burned off.....now take a large flat head screwdriver, i prefer a chisel, and a hammer, and give it a good 10-20 hard hits in the same place, make sure to stay flat when you're hitting the pan, as you can damage it.....one you get the seal broken, hammer in your flathead or chisel, and pry it open.....now for the propane, it has to be a real handheld tank, which would be about a foot long.....remember to take off the oil pan bolts and the oil filter, drain oil, etc! lol

 

This is what we did.

 

Torch, and a small chisel worked well.

 

OK, it's been a week. We need updates.
How did you get it off? Is the kit finished? How is it running?
