Re: [ST] Oil filter removal



Denis,
   I know it is just a tad smaller that the old filter. I had one of 
those wrenches that just push on from the bottom and have a 3/8" socket
hole in them and it was just a tad too big. So I took the oil filter box 
and cut it into strips and lined the inside of the wrench with it to 
make it snug. That worked to get it off and back on.
