Help! Oil filter isn't coming off smoothly
Any tips? I'm trying with two hands to try n remove the oil filter and it won't budge. I'm twisting it counter clockwise of course.
If you have advice plz post it ASAP. Thanx |
Mine was tight too. I used a belt type oil wrench to break it loose. Came right off.
|
My recommendation is to get an oil filter wrench.
|
And if I don't have a wrench that size?
|
You can either keep trying to get it off with your hands, or break down and go to walmart or an auto store, and get one.

Do you have like a tongue/groove pliers that you can use to grip the oil filter?
|
All pliers and wrenches are too small. Trying rubber bands for grip. My hands are killing me

This. Just puncture it with something and then use that something as leverage. |
This is gonna get messy. Save yourself the trouble and get a filter wrench
