removing a stuck oil filter - my solution

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.

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

Hope you didn't put another PH8 back on.

I've found that the nylon strap one will just about remove any of them that are not welded on.

Yes, usually the strap works, after crushing the &$%*% out of it.

Don't put them on so tight

Plaz it will cuz sometimes there ain't room enough to get a drive extension/ratchet on the strap (which is my fav)
