Need Some Help Please

I can't take my damn oil filter off to save my life. Can anyone offer suggestions on how I should go about removing it?

Thank you.

Go to the gym and get buff. You try the tools that help removing it yet?

Stab it all the way to the other side with a screw driver.

take your tire off...lol thats how i took mine off ones. It was easier. Oil filter wrench

^ Screwdriver is the LAST resort

Grab a filter tool from the parts store this won't be the last time you need it!

Use an oil filter socket with some extensions, and a u-joint (I think that's what it's called).

stab it. that's how the cool people do it.

If you lay down with your head near the trans, and a filter wrench in your hand, with ALOT of patience you will be able to use the filter wrench. The handle of the wrench will be facing towards the front of the car. It CAN be done with a filter wrench. But not everyone can do it.

Get a K&N oil filter with the 1" nut welded to the bottom for the next time you change it. Filter removal will be a 15 second process.

After that, do an oil filter relocation:biglaugh:

Let jiffy lube worry about it.

When I have a problem getting the oil filter off, reguardless if its' my supra or something else, I use the largest pair of channel locks I can, and I squeeze the channel locks down and twist at the same time. I have never had it fail.

I've only ever replaced my oil filter once myself...every time since has been the dealer...let them worry about it lol.

man this shit must be on there great i stabed whole in it still didnt work all the oil filter tools broke lol push this shit do wall-mart or pepboyz lol see if they can get it off i could take off the turbo but who the hell wants to do that

If it not to FUBAR'd...Have u tried a strap wrench? Also a set a 460 channel locks like mentioned before.....also thats why the stab-a-hole method is last resort...now u cant drive it.

Can you remove the I.C. piping and other stuff to get at it? its work but, better than pushing or towing it to wherever you have to go.

I never had a problem with mine, I just used an oil filter socket and a t-bar looking thing and it came right out, from the bottom too.

I thought stabbing the filter was a joke.... :squint:
