[V8] Oil Change woes!!! Filter stuck!

[Greg Furstenwerth]

Well ok guys here is the progression of the device that is used to
remove the oil filter actually lets first say there are images of it
normal. You will be able to tell that. Then there is a image of the
shredded thing you will see this. Then also pay attention there is a
hacksaw, drill, big pry bar "wonder bar", Vice Grips, German Hacksaw!
Old School stuff there! As well as the mangled filter that looks like a
accordian with the bottom of the filter and half of the seals from
inside it everywhere!

This is your oil filter from Audi Dealership!

This is what were looking at from under the car notice the shredded
metal sleeve.

This is the device in early stage before it went under the hacksaw or as
a surgeon would say "under the knife"

Here is another shot of the device. There is a mammoth cheatbar there.

The finished product after hacksaw and a few beers.

Then this one is the workspace showing all the random tools.

I would just like to say most of the things that Dan Hussey has been
speaking about is directly related to this car as he has been helping
me. We worked together to make this project work and completed with the
windows and filter. Were waiting to get some Loctite tommrow and
hopefully this will add enough tensile strength to bust this filter off
there with our device that we made. If you want to make one of these its
pretty easy just grab a wall flange from home depot in plumbing, there
is also a pipe and connector that made it.

We will report results tommrow as things unfold.

Thanks,
