removing oil filter

Mg 17 February 2005 06:03:03
 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.

oh yeah, I remember in college I offered to change the oil in my
girlfriend's car - she'd previously taken it to one of those quick-lube
places, my filter wrench just collapsed the filter, ended up punching
three different holes in the filter before it was loose enough to spin
off. 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.

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.

Yes. 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.
