fyfie5 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 well today i jacked the car up and put her on axle stands, changed the middle pipe exhaust brackets and went to get started on my oil change, but it started raining and i couldnt get the oil filter off think wd40 would help get it off? i cant be bothered buying the special tool unless i have to.

philgor Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 have you got any of these,http://span-trade.co.uk/images/uploads/CAN1164ERA.jpgor are using latex/rubber dispoable glove's, if so, put one of them on the filter, the filter need's to be clean and dry, and put a pair on your hand's you should be able to grip them enough to get it to shftwd40 won't help the situation as it will most likely end up all over filter making it slippy as a kipper ( )the last resort (i've never used), is to go a bit with a and a screwdriver, stab the filter, (oil will go every where). and turn.........

james Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 i would think wd40 left to soak would help .. just wipe it off atferuse sand paper for grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fyfie5 Posted June 27, 2012 Author Share Posted June 27, 2012 well since i broke 2 10mm sockets trying to get the arb apart for painting and while i wait for a new one in the post i thought i would paint my rear drums as i got bored of the colour rust i thought red would be too chavvy so a nice subtle matt black would do the job please excuse the state of my car as it has been raining non stop so havent had a chance to wash it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
