Default 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.

2. imo.....stupid idea.

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

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.
