Prying off of the oil pan lower part (3) is not applicable for vehicles with an oil pan lower part (3) made out of plastic.

Do not drive any tooling between the oil pan lower part (3) and oil pan (1) to release the oil pan lower part (3).

The sealing surfaces will be damaged otherwise!

During prying off of the oil pan lower part (3), the bolt is turned in the nut (4) on the oil pan lower part (3) until the oil pan lower part (3) is released from the oil pan (1). Heat the oil pan lower part (3) in the area of the sealing surfaces with hot air gun if necessary. The design of the nut (4) is not suitable for the pneumatics tooling.
