I have an old flat file with a knife-edge on the end of it that works well. Also, a putty knife and a piece of scotch brite are helpful.

Oil filter gasket?

The oil filter gasket is a rubber ring that is usually bonded to the oil filter. If the oil filter has been removed and has no gasket, then it has become stuck to the engine block. Remove the gasket from the block before installing a new oil filter with it's own new gasket. Be sure to spread a little clean engine oil on the rubber gasket before installation to help seal and prevent sticking to the block. Do not overtighten the filter, turn the filter until the gasket contacts the block and then tighten 1/4 turn more. If the gasket leaks, tighten just enough to stop the leak.

How do you change a oil pan gasket on a ford bronco?

The best approach is to pull the engine. While the engine is out, you can check the rear main seal. People say you do it with the engine in place. In my opinion I think it will be a sloppy job. You need to pull the engine out to check the pan, clean it out and see if other problems are at hand. Also with the engine out you can clean the surface of the oil pan and the block that bolts the pan to the engine. Either way good luck my friends.
