I-5 engine teardown tips - crank, block, oil filter housing

[Michael Gough]

I have to butt in here. The pipe wrench and crescent wrench will work great
for the MC oil filter housing. However the KH filter housing (the dual
filter setup) requires a socket. The nut is recessed and won't allow a
crescent or pipe wrench onto it. I've never had the right socket at the
junkyard though, so I've always just gotten the nut off with a
chisel...Probably not the best idea, but it works. Don't know how you'll get
it back on though :)
Anyway, buy or borrow the right socket and you'll be set.
