Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
An oil-filter cap (or cup) fits snuggly over the fluted-end of the
oil-filter. For a pic, see:
http://www.toolweb.com/euitemlist.cf...subcatID=44344
The cap has a square hole so a 3/8" socket extension-bar can be used to
remove and install the filter.
I left the cap on the filter because I knew I'd need it for the next
oil-filter change and I didn't want to go hunting for it in my garage.

Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
Ok, so you left the removal tool in place and it destroyed the oil
filter if I am reading this right? You are extremely lucky it didn't
wear through allowing all your oil to puke out. I have seen too many
dead engines from things like that. Even happened to me, by the time
the oil light came on from a head that came loose opening an oil passage
on a flat 4 during a highway trip, the engine was fried. (the
$tealership actually screwed that one up)
I think the tool is now likely damaged as well so I think I would just
glue the sucker back onto the filter and remove it that way. JB weld
or some other epoxy comes to mind.
