Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
Removing the oil filter is a bear! Once you push your arm between the
tie-rod and the fan shroud and reach the filter, there's no room to get
a good grip on the filter to screw it off.
===============================
When my new Liberty reached 2,500 miles, I couldn't get the
factory-installed oil filter off so I ended up taking the Liberty to a
quick-lube-place to have the oil changed and the oil filter replaced.
(Apparently, the factory put the filter without oiling the rubber
gasket and must've used an impact wrench).
===============================
Then, at 5,000 miles, I changed the oil and replaced the oil filter
with almost no effort. I oiled the rubber basket on the oil filter then
snugged up the filter by hand and turned it another 1/4 turn.
===============================
Now, at 8,000 miles, I first tried a oil-filter end cup (or cap). For
picture:
http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/produ...1000242reg.jpg
The cup fits snugly over the fluted end of the oil filter. One end of
a 3/8" extension bar goes in the square hole on the back of the cup and
the other end of the bar goes in a socket wrench.
When I turned the cup, it rounded-off the flutes and just spun.
================================
I then tried a nylon strap-type oil-filter "wrench". For picture:
http://www.dodgetopia.com/images/KD-3149.jpg
The nylon strap goes around the oil filter and one end of a 3/8"
extension bar goes in the end of the handle and the other end attaches
to a socket wrench
As the extension bar turned, it tightened the strap around the oil
filter. When it didn't unscrew the oil filter, I stopped, fearing it
would rip apart the filter and I'd have an even more-difficult time
getting the torn filter off the mount.
================================
Is there anyone out there that has actually changed the oil-filter on a
Liberty? What tool did you use
tie-rod and the fan shroud and reach the filter, there's no room to get
a good grip on the filter to screw it off.
