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)..............

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.
