After my filter wrench broke and the screwdriver method failed, this method, right here, was the only thing that worked. Thank you for sharing!

Thanks! Using a strap didn't work for me cause strap just kept sliding round and round the oil filter as I turned it but then I remembered I had a tow bar chain so I made a slip knot with the chain and pulled the end through the wrench and proceeded with the rest of your steps and my oil filter came off! You are a life saver!

That’s how it’s supposed to be done. But, when you have dumbass kids doing oil changes at dealerships and quick lubes, this is when you get the over tightened ones. Morons.

NASA, hire this guy!!! Like everyone else, I was skeptical, but willing to try it before the infamous screwdriver technique. In my case, the filter was so difficult to even get to with a ton of 4WD crap in the way. Luckily, I had a piece of nylon strap I hadn’t thrown away yet. Thank God! It worked with nearly zero effort after wrestling with a filter wrench for longer than I care to admit.

Filter Wrench broke, Screw driver method not a chance went through the housing, chisel and hammer all failed over 2 hours, this is the only thing that worked 10minutes, initially i tried with normal rope but was not so good( may be would of worked) it is better and easier with flat braid) fortunately had some .

If this doesn't work you can also just smash a screwdriver right into the filter and use handle as leverage.

There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for an oil filter to be so tight that you need any tool to remove it. People are dumb.

@justaguy4real Жыл бұрын

Does anyone else have ideas of or tried to glue a nut on top for easier removal? And is it better to add some oil into filter before installation, or simply letting the pump do it's thing at pre-start enough?
