which way do you turn the oil filter when facing forward looking under the bonnet ? i been trying for half a hour trying to get it off but its sollid

 

jack the car up and get under the front with a big pair of mole grips lefty loosey righty tighty

 

As above or if not big enough the (very) messy way is to hammer a large screwdriver through it and use that as a lever but movement will be very restricted but you'll be able to break the seal.

I'm pretty sure if you're under the car looking up at the filter it goes it goes anti-clockwise.................

 

mole grips!! screw drivers!!! you butchers!!!

just get an oil filter removal tool from any motor factors or halfords,motorworld,etc.

they only cost a few quid and then turn it anti clockwise!

 

I need to invest in one of those. I use the screwdriver method usually

 

You dont have to pierce it, you can use a sharp screw driver on the edge to gently tap it round with a hammer......done this many a time.

The strap wins hands down though

 

whats wrong with usein mole grips or screw drivers its not like your re-usein the oil filter i think the best way

 

To be fair it is a bit rough, makes the job very messy aswell, for the money a strap costs they're definately worth it aswell

 

i bought a strap, piece of piss.

they only cost about a fiver.

 

Thats what I use but he hasn't got one !!! Mine's a chain one (bicycle chain type) and it's great, works a treat.

 

ruf ruf lolshould get a job with ashley out of corry he owns a butchers lol,
