removing oil filter
Mg 14 February 2005 06:24:50
	Hello I installed a new oil filter on a 98 ford escort, however, I cross threaded it. does anyone have any idea how to remove it? I tried using the the socket wrench, but it doesn't move. I also tried drilling hole in the filter and then inserted a screwdriver. I was thinking about cutting the metal shell. thanks

	I suggest using a filter wrench if you haven't tried that yet. If you need more leverage, extend it w/ a pipe or bar. RH.

Much cursing. This was when I decided that a) those quick-lube places just weren't worth it and b) neither was doing any maintenance on a Crapolier. nate

Yes. Back when I used to take my car to oil shops, at one place they put the new filter on with an impact wrench? Came time to take it off, I had to pierce it through and through with a long screwdriver.

I tried that once on my old '75 Corolla. A sorry, oily mess it was, and guess what? The filter still did not come off! All the screwdriver did was tear a ragged slot in the can, nothing more. I had to remove the smog pump in order to make enough room to get a great big set of Vise Grips on it. -- TeGGeR®
