Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
The removal tool did NOT destroy the oil filter; it just rounded-off
the flutes on the filter. Now, I need to find something that will grab onto the filter so it can be unscrewed. |
Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
Do you realize how thin the oil filter metal is? Mine rubbed on the
engine mount once and blew/wore a hole through it very fast. It wore out the crease on a flute. Rounding the flutes wore on the flute crease marks also. I still figure you were lucky.... So what about just gluing the tool back onto the filter???? Like I said, the tool is also likely worn so it wouldn't be good to use again anyway.

Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
Mike,
What he is not saying here, is whether he used the "oil filter removal tool" to install the filter, that now won't come off. I am betting that he did. Spin-on oil filters are designed to be installed by hand. I don't care how tight this filter is. None of them will resist big channel-locking pliers or a pipe wrench for long.

Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
I caught that to Earle. He actually 'does' say he used it to put the
filter on in one post. I'll be he just uses his hand next time....
