So I was on my way to Atlanta Georgia Driving my Nissan and I happened to run over a Dead Deer It ended up ripping my oil pan off and I had to get the car towed to atlanta. My question is What tools are needed to take the Remainder of the Oil pan off? All of my tools are in North Carolina so im Just going to go out and get a New set.
Can anyone help?

Car is a 1996 Nissan sentra And It has the ga16de
All i need is a new oil pan and oil pan gasket right??

I'm not really familiar with the GA16, but you should need a 10mm socket (I'd bring a 1/4" drive set in case it's not a 10, but it's guaranteed to be in that set), something to pry off stuck parts of the pan, and something to scrape off the old gasket with. You should just need a new pan and gasket, but make sure none of the pan mounting bolts got bent by the deer, they're pretty fragile.

Good luck with the repair!

Yes the 10mm socket and 1/4" drive ratchet should work fine and do the job. You can use RTV high temp sealant for the gasket.
