OIL FILTER STUCK ON!!!

[02BigD]

If a vise grip and the screw driver didn't work its Cross threaded and tightened beyond all reason.

^^^This guy knows a thing or two every know and again...

Sawzall and a chisel.

^^^This guy always knows what he's talking about.

Just to spell it out for the OP...cut the rest of the filter housing you can, remove the filter material, and use a chisel to work on the core support that is threaded onto the cooler stud, lefty loosey.

strap wrench at the base of the filter

but... it sounds like they welded the damn thing on there! LOL

Right!?

Somebody was having a bad day when they did that oil change.

Caulk the holes in the filter and re-fill...call it even.

 

[thuglike]

Heat gun on threads???

 

[Bustedknuckles]

Ive been doing at least one oil change a day for the last 6 years and have never seen one stuck like that! Cut it off with a sawzall and use a chisel attachment on a air hammer to screw the threads off.

Heat gun on threads???

Pussy. Torch!!!!

Bingo.. You should have heated it before you wrecked the filter, it would have been easier to get it off.. Allways remember when something wont unscrew, heat it up..

I honestly would have removed the back end of the oil cooler by now. Good chance it'll be coming off anyway.

That strap wrench appears to be broke the wrong way for it to have been used to try to loosen the filter. I'm thinking you tightened even more.

There's an easy way but I wanna see where this goes.

That was a piece of chit from advanced autoparts it was glued together I paid like 7 bucks for it then I ended up at harbor freight to find the correct one.LOL

I am giving it 10 mins tomorrow then going to the sawzall and some air tools.:cursing:

Or would it be easier to pull the back end of cooler off instead of the hassle.

 

[thuglike]

Pussy. Torch!!!!

LOL

I would of said that but someone would of done it and started a thread that Dyno Proven burnt my truck down!!!

 

[Magnum PD]

Lol

Chip is on its way too Jason.

 

[thuglike]

Good deal

 

[Mahdeys]

[Doodie]

Do both.

 

[AXLEburg]

at this point it sounds cross threaded...Do you have enough clearance or filter left to use a pipe wrench on it?

I know this goes without saying but I'd shove that filter up the asssss of who ever changed your oil last

 

[Arisley]

Just get an oil cooler repair kit, pull the oil cooler off. Get that thing on a bench where you can work on it and not tear anything else up. Clean the threads up on the mount before putting a filter back on it. Replace the o-rings in the oil cooler, reinstall and be done. Don't forget to put oil in when you finish.
