Default Re: Damn oil drain plug

Here is my original note from the filter removal

Changed the oil in the 90, went to remove the filter....broke an Oil adapter for removing the filter, tried another, rounded off the filter, tried a strap oil filter remover....would not budge. Went to the store bought a damn clamp to remove it, no luck.

Pipe wrench, twisted the body of the filter, but did not move the base.

Shoved a screwdriver through it, ripped it open.

Keep in mind, I weight 260lbs, and putting my weight on it would not move it.
Cut open the filter, tried a hammer and chisel in the opening at the base, would not move....and it was a big *** hammer.

Had to drill holes in the seal, and use the above method with the hammer to remove it.
