Oil Filter Removal

(1/2) > >>

tazmun:
Last spring before I put my Street Glide up for storage (AZ) I changed the oil and tried to get the filter off. I had the oil changed the previous
year at a dealer because I had no time to do it! Well, low and behold, I couldn't get the filter off!!!! I tried everyting except
the old screwdriver trick! The engine oil was slightly warm, not hot. Anyone have a good
idea? I've tried 3 different filter wrenches!!!!

OBB:
Try one of these.

I had a similar issue a few years ago and used a Strap Wrench.
At first used the same as OBB suggested but started to slip off so I pull the pin on that one before I did some damage.

Joel:
I use both at work. NAPA's have a lifetime warranty.
Be careful using the claw type, the crank sensor might be close and if it is it could get broken if the tool slips off the filter.

vtwinjim:
If the filter wrenches are spinning on the filter, I've used thin metal strips on the flats or small strips of sand paper to take up the gap between filter and wrench flats to remove filters.
