in dire need of help

[mossbergman]

Oil filter is smashed all to hell and is seized on like its been welded. We tryed a screwdriver through it and that didnt work. Any tips???

 

[brentalan]

Oil filter wrench

 

[mossbergman]

Tried one. Its a walmart filter (previos owner). Tryed ebery thing

 

[Stangman]

Can you get a pair of slip jaw pliers around the base of it?

 

[Icarus]

Got any wide channel locks?

There are several different types. The best one to me is this:

 

[mossbergman]

Tried channel locks too. Thanks to the huge amount of space available,they were equallly unsucessful

 

[driller]

Long chisel and hammer?

 

[Icarus]

Watch the stub that holds the filter on though if your banging anything near there. Same with the mating surface for the rubber gasket...

I agree. Hammer and long chisel right on the base.

 

[Jacksun]

torch it off!

 

[mossbergman]

torch it off!

That might be hazardous, seeing as theres oil everywhere...

Punch, chisel, or a screwdriver and a hammer. Punch it through and twist it off.
Makes a mess but it works.

Didnt work for me

Is it still stuck?
You could twist off as much as can and use a chisel on the rim to knock it loose. Just don't damage the mounting surface.

Hey... Sometimes its the simple things.
I had to ask.

Take the whole adapter plate off. It would give you a much easier chance. It's not very hard. At this point you might as well before you break or damage something else
