Oil filter can't come off

Hi guys,

Is there anyone near Heathrow that has a oil filter wrench as the previous service had been over tightened and just won't come off

I'll even pay

So it wont come off with the 36mm ( i think) socket?

WaLLeMs:
Yeah... They have striped bits off

You're going to need more than a 36mm socket if the housing has been stripped around the hex???

An oil filter strap will be required to wrap around the filter housing in order to remove so best advice is to go get yourself a new one. if you get a new one then if you're careful enough actually no forget that lol

WaLLeMs:
I managed to get a new one from awesomegti then gonna get a strap wrench so I'm hoping all will be good again
