Will try adn find a longer screw driver, by chisel top edge round, do you mean stick a chisel in it and hammer it round to try and tempt it around, surely thatll just push through the casing in a ripping motion?


Balls Na, im fairly sure so, i did try it both ways just to be on the safe side.. :boxing:

But its such a bitch to get any sort of good contact on..

Put the screwdriver on the top most edge of the filter, where the top is rolled over the edge. Failing that, the largest pair of water pump pliers you can get around the top edge if you can get them on.

I actually feel sorry for you lames, I gave good advice, but as it contradicted your advice you felt the need to go off on one.

Define trolling you conceited person. My advice was given from experience, all 40 years of it. The top part of a spin on oil filter is no more stronger than the wall, the rim is the strongest part. Advice given to chisel the top part with a sharp instrument like a screwdriver is wrong, by all means have a go with a blunt instrument but not a screwdriver.

right girls, which is top and which is bottom?

 

[jamesmartin]

I call the bit that fits nearest to the engine block the rim, always has been. Experienced.

Top part is the highest, furthest away, rim is bottom part.

Well at least it'll be less embarrassing than the drivel so far

 

[abcdedd]

Well im trying to access it from below, as cant get to it any other way, cant get to the rim as no access very easily atall and no screw driver/chisel will lever it atall.. :/ hmmmm

Exactly, top bit weak, bottom bit (THE RIM) strong.
