I made this as although I have a bought tool to split the front of the case that sits in the void of the oil pump, I always find splitting the case at the back to be a pain.
Printers on a Qidi Plus 4, PETG and a 0.6mm nozzle. 0.35mm layer height as it's a blunt tool for a blunt job.
I printed mine on its end so the M8 threading was the best it could be, but obviously that puts the layer lines in the worst orientation for the tool's usage. I ran a tap through all the threads anyway, so maybe it would have just been better to print on its side.
Other components:
M10 bolt to attach the tool to the case.
M8 studding, slightly bent to match the slope of the case. (I could have factored the slope into the design, but bending the studding was quicker)
Flanged M8 nut, but a normal nut with a washer might have been better.
