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

[Carol, Dave, and Zach Weiss]

It's probably a pipe thread you can't get over here.  I installed one (on a
Briggs V-twin!) last year.  I cut the bottom plates off two cheap oil
filters and made nuts from them, double-nutted the nipple, and torqued it
home properly.  The hard part on the V8 would probably be breaking the old
one loose..

"Don't despair, just replace the union (077115721b) for $11.85 list and
be on your way :)"
 
Not sure the availability, or how easy that bugger is to replace, but
it's nice to know it is possible (in theory).
