So i think i am mentally challenged, and i tried the screwdriver method, pretty sure i did it right, and had no room to get that craftsman thing from kmart to work, damn lt's and oil pan.

Here are some pics of where i am at.

I think i need to cut around the metal of the oil filter that is on the thread, and try to get something to grip the thick metal of the oil filter that is on the thread and turn it there.

I think the gasket dried and sealed up so much that is won't turn, not sure if that makes sense.

here are some pics though.

 

sorry man but i just had to point out how funny that looked hahaha

dont know all the technical stuff yet, still a noob, so i can't help you out

 

At this point I would put a pair of vice grips on it. Looks like you got medieval on it's azz.

 

LOL,. thanks for pointing that out, i am glad you pay that much attention to the little things, lol.

 

well i already put some pliers on there and tried to pull it in the direction of spin to get it off, but it won't budge.

 

!!! If I were you I would try to put a large flat tip screw driver with a big head that won't cut the metal into one of the holes and pound on it with a hammer to try and get it to turn. I dont remeber 100% but if all else fails you can open the part covered but the base of whats left of the filter and take the adapter off the block. I just dont remeber where the bolt was located under there.

that actually is pretty damn funny...

 

Take a chisel to the base of the filter and hit it in a loosening direction...U can also chisel the whole base off the filter ..it will fall off and the threaded part will be loose.This WILL work!!!

 

Just looked at your pic...chisel on the holes going CCW....

 

I will give this a try.

I was also wondering what the bolt right above the filter part of the block does, the bolt that goes into the block right above the filter???

 

What did you do!??? HAHAHAHAHA thats hilarious. Sorry, but yeah, i have seen one like that before and we used the "hammer/chisel" method as well. Hey might wanna ask for a filter wrench for Christmas

 

That isn't a bolt. It is a pipe plug. It is screwed into an oil pressure port. The 93 and some 94s had the oil pressure sending unit there. I am going to use it for an aftermarket guage.

 

so i am currently working on the chisel hammer method, no budging so far, but i will keep trying.

if i had to get it towed to a shop, what would the shop do to get it off??

 

If all else fails you may have to make yourself a tool. By that, I mean something that will slip into all of the filter holes (6 small rods), tied together on one end (welded to a block of steel), with a spot for a wrench or something (cut the head off of a bolt and weld to steel block). In case the chisel method doesn't work.

 

can i chisel around the center thread piece and rip off the outer piece? to just leave the thread part of the filter stuck on the thread of the block, and then use vice grips and hope that turns it.

I am assuming it is the gasket that is stuck and preventing the filter from turning, so would that remove the problem of the gasket, thus allowing me to just turn the center thread piece???
