I just want to thank you for this! You have saved me so much money and so much trouble. I finally gave up after trying everything else and scheduled a tow truck for the next morning. I sat down for the night and checked for any other ideas that I could try and I found your video. Went back out to the car to try this but I didn’t think it would work and it did. I was so happy after being grumpy about the whole situation. Thank you again for saving the day.

So glad I could help you out! I know the frustration, time, and money that comes with these things. And you never know, a buddy may call you one day with the same issue, and you'll now have a trick to show them.

Best video yet, no welding or cutting sockets. Just a simple way to get it off. I can't wait to get home to try it.

WOW!! This video is the ONLY one that helped me getting a shred oil filter off my Scag zero turn mower. The way the engine sits, the is NO ROOM to get any thing else in there other than a small, short pair of needle nose pliers Then, after I was already exhausted, it took 5 more minutes of tugging and pulling with all my might, then the base of the filter finally turned like 1/256th of an inch, which got me exited. Being there was no room, I had to re position the pliers multiple times, but it finally moved the filter little by little. After cussing like a sailor for an extended period of time, it FINALLY spun free. Now I need to say my prayers and ask for forgiveness for my sailor's mouth. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Really glad this helped you, and probably saved you from having to call someone and potentially spend extra money

I’m in that exact situation right now. You’re much calmer than I am. About to redline this bitch and drive it straight to the scrap yard.

Thanks for helping us out bro. My friend doing my oil change was about to lose his head. Your method worked, with a little help from me hyping him up 🤣🤣

I accept defeat after a couple hours. But after this video was able to spin it off. Thank you🙌

You are very welcome, my friend! Im glad you found success in that damn thing! Drinks on me!

I had a tight filter and the metal strap filter wrench kept slipping so I used some sandpaper between the wrench and filter and it came off a dream.

You could put a decent sized extension in the handle to use leverage

All the other videos had complex processes involving drill presses, spot welders, metal grinders, and spare metal tubing pieces to be cut by a saw. Like, who has hella stuff laying around to simply make a tool? Those at home with them would never go to KZread to look, so all that is irrelevant. This video hits different, a needle nose pliers and some muscle 💪🏽💪🏽I got that!

Exactly the problem I'm currently having. I'll try this tomorrow.

Thanks. Your method worked. For me, I used break bar to turn the pliers so it was easier to make it loose. Before using break bar, I thought I need to buy other tools.

I shredded mine just like that today and had to walk away from frustration lol Tomorrow I will be doing the needle nose trick 👍

Thank you for the video, I have this exact same issue with my 2016 Jeep, going to give this a shot!

Hei ! I’ve tried everything , even this idea , i’ve broke the tool and is still stuck , after a few hours i dont even feel my hands . Im in Norway so waiting for the tool would take too much time .But thanks anyway . Was a good idea :)

Best solution that I have got among all the youtube videos. Thanks bro. It did worked for me. But now I have arm pain. :P

I have used this same teckneek since before multy media. Before you ask I'm 71. You still have to shred the filter off. To get the needle nose plier tips in there. But hay good job. My step son is a nother one that has a grip of an ape he has caused me this same greef twice now. I told him next time he will be the one shreding the filter and trying to get the needle nose pliers to stay in the holes while he turns the fillter off.

Thank you! I haven't done it yet but I am getting ready in case things go wrong.

Just watched this today and it did the trick. Thanks for sharing! It was frustrating and not an easy thing to do, but it's done. Thank you!!

I bet if you put a pipe or extention or something between the handles of the pliers you could gain better leverage.

Wish me luck! The frustration been real!!

great tip thanks

I would also like to add for anyone who happens to view this video, they do make a tool that fits on the end of a socket wrench that can go in the same little holes that I put my needle nose in. If you check out Bogert Aviation, they have a video demonstrating how to get a stuck oil filter off using their tool, and you can specially buy the tool.

THANKS BRO!!

i grabbed mine with a big pair of channellock pliers and used a wrench to spin the channellocks pliers

thanks jobe

I’m bouta try this

oil filter doesnt get tight, everyone thinks that, the rubber seal hasnt had oil smeared on it before installation and it welds itself to the alloy housing with the heat of the engine and no lube, ALWAYS smear oil on the rubber ring before installing the oil filter and you will NEVER have this problem

False. I always do this and mine won't budge.

I had to use a Crowbar and the pliers man, fuck. lol

I'm about to put a screwdriver threw this let's hope it doesn't shred what's left of this filter.😬 If it does I'm definitely gonna try this

Currently having trouble with that I have a Toyota Camry 2019… man anger to rip off the oil filter like that any other advice on how to to do that???
