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

[quattro]

Since you have the filter semi apart, see if you can see the  th unuon 
through the filter. Should be some type of femal torx or alen head thats 
fits in there. get on the thing with a 1/2 breaker bar and you should be all 
set.There is one gotcha with this however. It is unknow to me if the unon is 
revers thread or not. I would order one first and note the threads on the 
new one

Not sure the availability, or how easy that bugger is to replace, but
it's nice to know it is possible (in theory).

Cheers,

So if I bust off the mating end that connects to the threads on the
filter by exerting way to much PSI then I can replace that? And where
can I get that part its good information to have before I go charging in
with brute force!

Thanks for the sale on the vehicle! its awesome otherwise brand new
brakes yada yada ;-)

I am not about to try to bugger up the block itself that would be a
nightmare I am being careful with that part.

replaceable.  Mess up the mating surface on the block and it won't be
pretty :-(
