The nipple the oil filter screws onto is just threaded into the block. It does have to come out to install the factory oil filter adapter. Whatever you use to take it out, vise grips or the like, make sure they are in good working order. That threaded nipple is really in there. I used my Knipex Cobra (or Alligator) Pliers to remove it. They have an amazing bite though...

Actually I have the Knipex Cobra Pliers. The only difference is the adjustment part of them. Either will work though. As far as the rag around the threaded nipple to protect it, good luck with that. Just bite directly into the nipple itself. If you ever need a new one they are available readily for around $10. The one in there is most likely never coming out unscathed...

5.7 Hemis don’t either, at least none that I’ve ever seen...

Both the 5.7’s I removed them from were pre-vvt engines. Maybe that’s the difference...

03-08 5.7 have the same pipe as the 6.1's the VVT 5.7s and 6.4s have the New pipe with the hex head.
