Purpose - A hand tool designed to separate the oil pan gasket from the engine and transmission during service and repair. Durable construction - Built with high quality metal for long life and reliable performance. - Emphasizes good workmanship and lasting durability. Blade design and function - Wide, conical, rounded blade edges engineered to fit between mating metal surfaces. - Specifically designed to break seals on oil pans, oil pumps, gearboxes, and other hard to separate sealing connections without excessive force. Key attributes - Function: facilitates safe and controlled separation of gaskets between engine and transmission and related joints. - Compatibility: suitable for common automotive gasket joints at the engine-transmission interface, oil pan areas, oil pump housings, gearboxes, and similar connections. - Size and shape: blade profile optimized for access between typical metal surfaces; designed to minimize damage to surrounding components. - Material and performance: durable metal construction ensures reliable performance across multiple uses and service intervals. Use scenarios - Scenario 1: During an oil pan service, use the tool to pry the gasket away from the engine block and oil pan without gouging either surface. - Scenario 2: When servicing the engine-transmission interface, apply the tool to break the gasket seal and separate the components cleanly. - Scenario 3: In cases of stubborn seals on oil pump housings or gearboxes, employ the tool to assist in breaking the seal and enabling proper removal. Notes - Designed to provide a practical, efficient solution for gasket removal with emphasis on surface safety and durable performance.
