The bottom hole you don't have to cut at all- you can simply pry up the top part of the gasket on the oil pan & find the 13mm bolt with your finger's. Place a long 13mm socket on to it. Make sure it's in there tight. Then put the ratchet on to the socket & loosen.
@davidmorley7778 you're retarded I literally have to do this tomorrow because there's no way to get the gasket off the pan . It lowers about 1/4" when the gasket is stuck to it so there is 0 clearance and 0 possibility of getting a socket/wrench/ratchet or anything in there to loosen that pickup tube . There are many many many other people and videos that do it this way. If you're flat rate you're not gonna spend 3 hours trying to unstick a gasket . You're cutting 2 holes and taking that pan off .

Rubber mallet to a few places on the pan will knocks it loose. Same as a DT466. I found that out after I destroyed one too.
What an awful design
No just an awful mechanic
