need advice on air chisels

An air chisel would definitely do it. A straight, narrow punch type bit would work best but the wide bit would work too. An old fashioned claw hammer and a punch would do the trick too and cost less.

Oooooooo........I haven't air chiseled one of these yet *wuvs*

Thanks: air chisel cost irrelevant. We have a compressor running all the time with impact wrench for the weels and air sawzall for the catalytic.
Re: old fashion hammer and punch. Not as easy as it looks, the oil pans are made of rather thick steel so they don't get easily punctured by debris or rocks on the road or off-road.
Thanks again

ferrailleur....look what you have done....you have given attitude another suggestion of how to get in trouble with that air chisel of hers !!! lol

I use a drill and bit.

Why not just use the drain plug that's already there?

an air chisel would be the fastest route. i would use a bit like the two on the right in the following link.

Haven't come across a vehicle yet that had a plug on the trans. I do drain the engine from the plug. Also drained a awd transfer by drilling a hole in it. Didn't see a plug anywhere.
