how to remove a stuck oil filter
Hey T.R. I have a huge issue. My oil filter is stuck and i can't get it off. I bought a special tool to help get it off and it cause the oil filter to crush and tear into bits. I checked online but nothing is working. the only remaining part is the actual top end "lid" with the holes in it. Do any of you have any idea on how i can get that off? the disk has the threads in the dead center and i can't screw it off. i tried the razor thing and still nothing.
Thanks
Thanks

Screwdriver and a hammer. Put the screwdriver on what's left of the oil filter and tap it with a hammer in a counter clockwise direction. It will slowly turn and eventually come loose.

I think he meant put the screwdriver in the holes where the oil comes down. if u cant do that then take the engine out and put in a engine with a good filter.

lol.
So this is just a regular spin-on can?
why don't you get two vicegrips and put them opposing each other and slowly spin it out?
I have cartridge filter, and synth oil in my g/fs car so i forget how cans are set up sometimes. It's just that metal plate with the holes in it that's there? It should have enough of a lip to grab onto though... I can't imagine it'd be THAT stuck.

i will take a picture of it. it's a 3 angle grip and it basically crused the fuck out of it because it only is about 2 inches deep so to answer psychos questions yes it was at the bottom because they made it that way. I'm about to go home and try the screw driver idea
