This item did the trick of separating my transmission pan from the tran body. The only issue was the little handle would not stay in place. The handle has a spring loaded ball to fit into a groove, but there is no groove. I fixed it by adding a thin metal shim and hammering the handle in. Just part of doing things yourself, too bad the people who design things apparently never actually use them themselves.

We could not get the oil pan off my 2017 Nissan Pathfinder and this did the trick! It was a very tight space and this saved us from needing to pull off other parts.

I got this to use on oil pan removal this it's a common thing at our shop. It went in ok but I didn't have alot of room to work with( car was still in the air, was doing oil pan reseal)If you have enough room to use a hammer this may be good. Went old school and got a puddy and prybar.

This tool is the best way to break loose the sealant on oil pans. That being said, this particular version has a major design flaw....the handle if the tool is loosely held in with a small spring loaded ball As soon as you hit the tool to permeate the sealant, the handle pops off. To rectify this problem I ended up welding the round handle onto the tool. This solves the major design flaw and now tool works perfectly. If you can't weld, choose a version of this tool were the small round handle is permanently attatched.

Tool works great once you get it started. I was trying to go the putty knife trick thinking I'd be able to break oil pan loose-nope should've saved myself 3 hours and a couple busted knuckles and ordered this tool. First of all the handle is supposed to be removable and there's a ball detent to hold it in place however its not a tight fit so most of time I had to hold it by hand to get it started. Also the shim part that looks like a blade isn't a blade but just a stout thin piece of metal that's held into place by 2 tiny (2.5mm) allen head screws. CHeck the tightness of the screws regularly to get the most out of your pounding. I used it on 2003 Honda CRV don't let the M-B BMW deter you. Local auto parts stores to don't have this tool either.

I’m glad I bought this tool. If I would have used a screw driver to separate the transmission oil pan (2003 Sequoia) , for sure it would have done some damage. Ones you get it started, hit the tool sideways along the pan it would be breeze.

This thing looks like a great idea, but it is just too thick to get wedged in between the pan and block. I ended up using a screwdriver and had no problem
