Not just an oil change - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Changed the oil in the 90, went to remove the filter....broke an Oil adapater 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 methog with the hammer to remove it.
