"You're" an internet gangsta? Settle down, dude.

Seriously - It's an O-ring seal with one bolt through it. It's not a head gasket. Just tighten it really tight. You'll be fine.

I believe he was just being funny as the factory puts them on rather tight and uses LocTite. He's obviously removed one before!!

A good pull with your shoulder power will be just fine.

According to the 1997 Service Manual, for the 2.5L engine = 75 ft/lbs, for the 4.0L = 50 ft/lbs.

I thought the 4 cylinder didn't use an oil filter adapter.
