Thread: The oil filter is stuck....

Yeah, spent the last 4 fucking hours trying to get the damn oil filter off of my truck to no avail, and I have done everything short of explosives to get it fucking off without using a wrench socket or universal wrench.....which I am about to go get.

This is why I get mad at my step father sometimes....I told him I was going to change the oil in the truck myself, then while I am school the very same day I was going to change the oil he takes it in to the shop and lets the "professionals" do it over at Kwik Kar. Says right on the fucking oil filter that it is HAND TIGHTEN ONLY, but there is no fucking way they got it on there that tight without using a machine or power tool....

Be back in 20 minutes while I go get the universal wrench, I want to get this fucking done by nightfall....

Yup, that is what I'm going to go get, leaving in the SUV right now.

strap wrench fo sho

Why didn't you just hammer a screw driver through it?

I did. I said I tried EVERYTHING short of explosives and a strap wrench.

By the way, done with it now. The strap wrench made it sooooo much easier. Took an hour long shower just to get all the crap out of my hair.....and all the oil off my skin, but I was more concerned with the hair, oil on the hands and arms I don't mind.

Yeah, when I did it the walls of the filter just tore when I tried unscrewing it like that. Kwik Kar uses a real cheap ass bullshit oil filter.
