It's making me nuts my naps gold filter it is over a year and i have the special tool and just stripped it and slipped off
then I tried my 10 " c clamp and squished it hard and didn't do it
then I got a screw driver and beat it in and used 2 screwdrivers and nothing
I have all the metal off ripped out with pliars I have it gutted and the flat part way up stuck in to the engine
tomm I'm gonna use my grinder and grind a slice in it very carefully
I don't know what else to do
I have all the special tools
nothing worked
what do you guys do

 

I dont put it on so tight

 

I was going to say to fabricate your own spanner wrench that will engage 2 oil holes in the base of the filter.
But if you ripped all the metal from the filter down to it's base, then I suggest heating what is left to melt the rubber gasket.

 

You nick that engine block and you'll have an oil leak forever. The centerpiece is replaceable if you damage it.

 

Good point.

 

A guy on YouTube said to use a ait hammer who h i have
and another guy said carefully drill the holes out 15 holes instead of how many are there are break it free and propane torch to melt the rubber which was my next I already wasted an hour plus underneath it tonight have to waste more time tomm
Propane tourch the rubber seal and wd40 and then still it
I'll let you know how it goes
ty

 

Oil burns you know.

 

The filter is held in place by the rim clamping against the engine block as the center threads in. All you need to do is disrupt the structure anywhere between the center and the rim and it will lose clamping force.

 

should I drill out the holes more all over and then vicegrip the metal apart

 

Can you post a picture of what is left?

 

the bottom cut of part stuck up
I'll try tomm

Get it down to where it's nothing but the metal plate that forms the top of the filter. Use a hammer - a BFH - and an equally BF cold chisel with a sharp edge, to persuade it gently and lovingly that it has suddenly become A Good Idea for it to rotate counterclockwise.

No need to tear anything up besides the filter. No chance of doing so, even. Really.

Can't see how this is even an opportunity for a solution, much less a problem.

 

I had one do that to me once. Since I know these engines well, I drilled 2 x 1/2" holes through the metal plate in line with the bolts holding the adapter on. Removed the bolts and pulled it off. Once it was off what was left of the metal easily twisted off. Re-installed the filter adapter with a new gasket and was good to go.
