Re: New jeep - first oil filter change - filter stuck & crushed
I am in Destrehan Louisiana. I will make another trip to the auto parts
and look for a better strap wrench and attempt some of these ideas this weekend. I might even invite the wife to climb under the jeep tommorrow. That will be the day....

Re: New jeep - first oil filter change - filter stuck & crushed
my first attempt is with one of the oil filter wrenches with the metal strap
& handle - I have learned to always stay as close to the block as possible. I don't like the wrenches that fit on the end of the filter because a tight filter will merely twist the end of the filter without loosening it. When that doesn't work. I go for the chain wrench (it's like the strap wrenches that everybody else talked about - but it has a bicycle chain on it instead of a rubber strap). If there is anything of the filter left to grab on to - the chain wrench will get it off..............more better than a rubber strap wrench. If that fails - then its time for a chisel & hammer on the part that screws on to the fitting (not a screw driver).............. -- Carlo F.

Re: New jeep - first oil filter change - filter stuck & crushed
I had this same thing happen & I wound up using a hammer to drive
a big ol screwdriver through the filter & got it to start spinning with that. Note: Make sure your turning the right way.
