| Post subject: | Removing oil filter nightmare |
Just when I get to what I think is the easy job Im wrong.Trying to take off the over tightened oil filter from the previous owner I have exhausted all options.I tried a strap wrench,wide channel locks,a Ducati oil cap wrench(but by now the grip points are all buggered up)and last I drilled a hole and put a large screwdriver through and tried to crank it off but no good.Anyone got any suggestions??Thanks

I have a chain wrench (there is a chain instead of a strap as in a strap wrench) that works bloody well. Also, a very large plumber's pipe wrench (I mean a large wrench, not a large plumber) might do the job. |

As a last resort, I've heard of people ripping the exterior case off of the filter and then using a hammer and chisel to knock the base counter-clockwise to get it off..........as a last resort.  I wish you luck with it. |

Screwdriver through filter from good position and then turn it open...... This have fuction here(last opinion)....  Normally very good filter opening tool can open such filter, what cant turn with hands..... (better opinion)

You could try a large hose clamp or muffler clamp and hammer on that to loosen. |
