Need a shop or someone to fix my oil filter adapter housing!
1995 jeep xj 4.0 straight 6
Looking for a shop or someone who can fix my oil filter adapter. The seals are leaking (i have the seal kit). I worked all day trying to get the t60 torx to break lose and i couldnt get it. Anyone know of a shop? Would need to be done pretty soon welding class starts monday

If it's just Loctite a heat gun will often loosen it up. If you use brake cleaner be careful with flames. It's not something I would do.

Your probably not near me but I'll do it for you. As long as you got the torx tool just need to get small wrench on it and then get the wrench in a position to allow you to put a piece of pipe on it for leverage. Mine didn't have torx I had regular bolt head mine being 1989 but I couldn't break it loose with regular wrench. As soon as I put pipe on end of wrench for leverage worked super easy.

That would be a tough one alright! I've been surprised by a few though. I loosened a pair of transmission mount bolts recently. I didn't want to put my O/A torch on them (steel bolts into aluminum case). Normally you heat the thread piece vs. the bolt but in that case it was enough to soften the Loctite and that's all it took. Surprised me.

The transmission bolts I mentioned above only had blue Loctite which takes less - about 450*-475* I think. They softened up pretty quickly.

I didn't have that style bolt which I'm glad I don't and anyone doing this probably source normal head bolt to replace it just in case you find yourself at this again. I still think if you can get a wrench on it just add a chester bar to the end should break loose. Just remember lefty loosy righty tighty?!
