Going to install a new oil filter nipple as the threads on the old one are a little boogerd up. Any advice on removing the old one and installing the new one will be appreciated. Should I use Locktite red on the new one?

 

I removed the oil filter housing and put it in a vise,and used a large cresent,could not get it out in the jeep. Loctite is ok.

 

Hey thanks, not sure how you go about removing the oil filter housing.....got any pics or instructions/suggestions?

 

Mine is held in by a bolt that is through the middle of the housing,yours is a 98,it should be the same.

 

i was at the jy today and took a picture of how yours is attached,it is the same as mine exsept yours has a torx style bolt instead of a normal bolt,see pic.
It maybe possible to get yours out in the jeep if you can get a socket on it,mine was just to hard to remove that is why I took it out.

 

Awesome and thanks a bunch. I owe ya one and as they say....I'll owe you forever, rather than cheat you out of it.

 

Your welcome but I was already repayed,I got walking around afterwards and found these,just the same as they came out of the factory,$80

 

DAYUUUUUUUUUUM! Those are SAHWEEEEEEEEEET!

 

The picture does not do them justice,I was shocked.
