Well guys if anyone can help my oil filter is stuck. Can't drive the thing anywhere because I drove a screw driver through it in hopes of getting the thing off. If anyone can lend a hand today (on lunch would be awesome) I'd be forever grateful.

I guess the last owner didn't put oil around the seal...I've never seen one so stuck.

If you want you can text me. 423-883-7103

I've had that happen once. I ended up driving a crow bar thru it and hoping it worked and it did. Try a filter wrench and that screw driver at the same time

I had to use a torch on one from a boat, sounds like you may have to tear the filter part off to get to the tread part

Ill have to go get one of the wrenches. I dont have one. I have a little attachment for a 3/8s ratchet that slides over the end of the filter. Sucks ***.

By the time im done I could have paid a shop to do everything

Jon's wrench didnt do the trick. Just crushed it and slipped.
This is the dumbest thing.

Im not wanting to take off the entire assembly..ive read that the o rings it uses are beyond impossible to find.

The guys at work always use the three jaw wrenches that tighten down the harder you twist or the giant pliers also work
