Easy to remove. Pay attention to torque sequence to avoid pan leaks

If you are referring to the small metal pan that has the drain plug... what 55 said above.
The only thing I will add is... don't buy a cork gasket because it will leak. The good ones (like Mahle) are metal reinforced rubber.
And again like 55 said torque sequence is important. So is the torque (numerical)value... so you will need to borrow/buy/rent a inch pound torque wrench... and use the right sized socket.

there’s always one bolt that keeps on turning, do not force it you will break it before your torque wrench clicks

I never had that issue/problem... but I typically tighten bolts at half value... then run the sequence again at full torque value.
