if its stuck all you need is a 1" socket and a ratchet and your golden.

The K&Ns are nice, but so damn pricey...and I agree with the "you dont need the nut on the end if you hand tighten it anyways," though yes it does work better than the cups.

Just another reason to switch to a cartridge filter.

I had a difficult filter that I ended up crushing like a soda can with one of those regular filter wrenches. I ended up using one of these chain vice grips that I picked up at autozone for 20 bucks, just clamped it tight near the base of the filter and spun it free, [ATTACH=CONFIG]177750[/ATTACH]

searching or through google. they dont realize the date 'cause they're nubs.

PS: i still think people who cant get oil can off are idiots. I just went ahead and bought the little fluted plates for my family's cars and it makes the job easier and faster than the rubber straps. Never tighten more than about a quarter of an inch past hand tight. comes off every time.

Now there's some logic!

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.
