Oil pan removal need advice.
 

I am going back to boost since my license got suspended. I was wondering if anyone had tips and pointers on how to get it off asap trying to do it while parents sleep.

why in the world wold u need to do it while ur parents are asleep?

cause i cant do it during the day when i work and when i come home they are awake and i dont want them knowing that i am boosting

thats weird
idk why they would care unless they r payin for the car or something..
anyway just ues a razor balde an it will come off thats how i got mine off

putty scraper and a hammer....go at it by an angle....

1. since your license is suspended......why are you boosting, gonna try to run from the cops?

2. imo.....stupid idea.

thats what i was wondering. why would you go boost when your license got suspended?

i got suspended for taking the blame for a friend doing something with his car he was underage and no license with him and no ins and i did it because i didnt think they would give me a ticket for reckless driving. and no i paid for the car myself i just dont want them knowing because they arent wanting me to boost.

i did run twice and got away but never again am i effin around on the streets

aw, thats cute.

not cute at all after i did that for him all he said was thanks and sorry and dissapeared

Sorry, I just thought this pic suits this thread perfectly

I have no idea how to remove the oil pan

well i have an idea i just want it done fast

i hate dropping our oil pan i used a long big flathead and a hammer ive done this over 6 times and i dred it ive made alot of damage to the bottom of the block from the flat head digging into it

So u plan to boost ur car over night then drive off the nxt morning like nothin happned? haha

na lol i am suspended for 3 months so i am taking my time on it but i wanna boost it cause they dont know its being driven so i will work on it since its not being driven and last day of suspension put the main assembly on and connect all the easy stuff

easiest way imo is a paint scraper and a hammer....just be careful not to hit the oil piuckup

I used a putty knife and hammer but if I ever have to do it again, I'm using one of these:

i just finished taking off all the screws tried the flathead screwdriver going to try the putty knife

I did a search for when I asked this question but couldn't find it. Anyways, I tried all of these methods mentioned, but nothing worked as good as what someone posted on my thread.

Get the triangular type razor blades, hammer one in in the corner near the oil filter, then wedge another one underneath in the same spot. Keep doing this until you can get something in there to wedge the rest off. I would also leave a couple bolts threaded in a little so the pan doesn't just drop making a mess.

fml still havent been able to take it off time for work ill try later again

i read that doing it while the engine is still pretty warm makes it easier since the glue holding it on is warm and doesn't hold as well. i'm sure you've already drained all your oil and can't start the engine (or don't want to for that matter) so you could always use a heat gun to loosen it up a little

yeah i am going to try using a torch tomorrow and see what happens

when the big red fire trucks arrive your parents are gonna notice......heat gun,not torch.....lol

please dont... just.. dont... hammer and a flat head and work it off

wish my car woulda been boosted over night....

my friend boosted his tc in one day lol bought all of the parts and just knocked it out in one day. but thats how we got my friends off torch lol a small one

i finished my car in one day...had three people though....but all i did was take my razor and cut in as much as i could....then took my putty scraper and hammered it at an angle to finish it off...make sure you get as much gasket as you can off the block and oil pan for a good seal

Drain oil and remove oil filter
Drop all the bolts holding the oil pan and nuts from the studs.
Use a putty knife on the front of the oil pan closest to the front of the car, get in as far as you can, which means the entire putty knife should go through.
Pull out the dip stick
Use a small crow bar to get in and pry up....the entire oil pan pops off.

I've used that technique 3 times in the past 2 months, worked like a charm regardless of if I used copper rtv or the ultra black rtv.

I got the pry/crow bar from Lowes, cost about $5, it's the smallest type you can buy I would think.

Please don't use a torch or anything ridiculous like that.

^ thanks man ill try it that way and ill let everyone know how it went

although i don't know how many of the ways described are ninja like so that you could do them while someone is sleeping and not wake them up

LOL I forgot about the ninja requirement but torching it wouldn't fall into that category

i got a better ninja idea! just bolt the oilpan to the ground somehow... then jack the car up! and then when the car goes up the oil pan goes down!!!

^ bwahahhahaha that should work haha but my house you cant hear ____ only the dog does and she barks for every single little thing

i got my car boosted in just 3 hours all on my own when u know what to do and how to do it it flys..

werd lol thats fast

coulda went faster but the damn oil pan is a pital to drill n tap

i am having a shop to my fitting on the oil pan sounds safer to me dont wanna try taping it

/facepalm....

Your badass now aren't you?

lots of razor blades, small hammer, and a ton of patience. That is all.

It sounds like I should take this somewhere and get it done haha sounds like its time consuming.
