Oil filter can't come off

<< < (2/2)

pudding:
Yeah, stupid plastic POS and stupid spanner monkeys as the torque spec is clearly written on it!!   They see a huge 36mm hex and think it needs air gunning on  :stupid:

Happened on my R32 and had to break it apart with a chisel and hammer.

r5gtt:
I used a chisel and hammer on a ford Kuga and that thing is well hidden under the inlet.  :stupid: designs as they are seriously tight anyway. same with one of the ford mondeos which have the filter behind the rad and ypu need a shallow 27 mm socket to access it.
