slant 6 oil filter REMOVAL

Same as unscrewing a peanut butter jar lid, except you are looking up. I have had to crush an oil filter with the strap wrench. That just gives a better grab by the wrench. Some punch a long screwdriver thru the case. Maybe you could tap on the base, like moms do with a knife on a jar lid. If the whole housing peels off, don't fret. I recall there is a socket tool to grab the holes in the base. My dad once took the oil pump off w/ filter to use a vise at work, but he didn't know the above tricks. When you put the new filter on, lube the rubber gasket with oil and follow the tightening directions.
