Oil filter removal

[mcconnac]

Trying to change oil filter, but last one must've been put on by Gerald the gorilla,  filter wrench just slipping round and off.  Any ideas before moving to a screw driver through it

Got it ..used a small amount of superglue on the filter.....just need to get the tool off the filter now..

That's a good idea!  I would have never thought of that.  I've done the screwdriver before.

Bit of brute force hammering in the sides of the old filter and the tools off to  .....

That's the very fella' Winger,  was fully on the filter but spinning of, even trying to hold it on with a baton behind the socket ratchet againt the exhaust downpipes.

Hence the number of pre drilled holes for plenty of self tappers.

Nice one Winger,  hadn't spotted the holes,  will remember that for the next time

Hopefully you didn't put it on so tightly that you'll need to remember
