However you spell the 'insert many cursing words here' thing!
Oil drained, tank drained, oil filter housing off, the old filter is jammed solid into the housing/cooler thing. No, I don't have a standard cover I can put the filter in with.
Is it a permemnant filter does anyone know? Or is it a special way to get the filter out? Or do you think someone before me has used the wrong filter and it is simply jammed on over the oilway stub?
I have left it in bits on the drive and thrown a trantrum at it, but it still didn't come off. I have tried gripping the flange with pliers, it is well and truly stuck fast. There is something holding it in, it is a far cry from the simple, take out old filter canister, pop new one on and do up the cover....
