Hi There, Just wanting to share my solution for a really stuck oil filter - small block - PH8 - oops XG16 not that it matters. Since access to the filter is really good with wheel and access panel removed in my 69 B - I came up with this... Take a parts store good for nutin filter end cap wrench and modify it. I drilled 4 holes through the back of the wrench. I used self taping screws to screw the wrench to the oil filter. Big A$$ breaker bar on extensions connected to the wrench and blamo...off she came no muss no fuss and no mess..... Hope this helps someone. Plaz

I've driven a long screw driver through one years ago when I worked in a service station near a U.S. Marine base, some dumb jarhead must have tighten that rascal up with a long lever on it We ended uo resorting to that after a lot of other trys on using other methods If you have to do that, anyone, drive it in up as close to the engine as possible, avoid the threaded nipple though
Yes, because Jarheads are the only ones dumb enough to over-tighten an oil filter
Semper Fi, anyway Scott
