Have I got a deal for you!

A 1959 VW Beetle, only 2 owners from new (mother and son).

Only used to go to Church on Sundays!

Two years MOT, taxed until the end of the year!

True bill (except for the bit about Church on Sundays).

Start off with a sharp metal chisel and indent the filter at its top flange.
ie..the exposed rim round the top of the filter.

Then use a blunt ended chisel and tap it in an anti clockwise direction. Medium to heavy taps with a hammer should loosen it.

You can't really get to the rim on the Panjero - almost the whole thing is 'recessed'....

Thanks for your input tho...

It is a 3 Leg Oil/Fuel Filter Removal Tool Wrench... :lol:

Did you just make that up? :lol:


No, look... :lol:

:lol: What about spraying the threads with WD-40? Is there any skin left on the can? :lol:


It is an oil filter - it is bloody full of oil! :lol:

Or it was before I stuck a screwdriver through it! :x

How can it still be full of oil when you’ve punctured it with a screwdriver? :?

As I said, it was full of oil until I knocked a hole in it... therefore WD40 on the threads is unlikely to be of benefit as I couldn't get it off when it was full of oil....

OK?

Besides, the screw thread is protected by a huge 'O' ring...

The oil was on the SEALED INSIDE you British tadpole, but you should’ve sprayed WD-40 on the threads from the outside! :roll:


Get a frickin big flat-head screwdriver and whack it sideways with a hammer to kingdom come or something! :lol:
