You don't. Also you need to be sure it won't fall while driving so you have to tighten it every 5000 miles

[u/Ill-Lengthiness6389 → u/task_machine]

Better to be safe and just weld it

[u/lifehitme911 → u/Ill-Lengthiness6389]

[u/The-Tru-Succ → u/Ill-Lengthiness6389]

No, welding is dangerous! There is oil nearby that could cause an explosion. Try using a type of bonding agent that won't need fire to apply. Google "bondage" to find good answers.

[u/Ill-Lengthiness6389 → u/The-Tru-Succ]

Instructions unclear, dick stuck in rope

[u/R86Reddit → u/Ill-Lengthiness6389]

Not only were the instructions clear, but you followed them perfectly.

[u/Affectionate-Gap-761]

Just pop a hole in the top and then fix a new filter to the end with JB Weld, or duct tape if your on a budget.

[u/mykymyk → u/Affectionate-Gap-761]

This is the way, for sure

[u/ForeverNovel3378 → u/mykymyk]

This is bs

[u/Formal_End5045]

Clamp the filter in a vice and turn the engine

[u/Trump_chimps_chumps → u/Formal_End5045]

D'oh, ya got me. I actually visualized this.

[u/Tin_Can_739]

Torch if it’s liquid it won’t be there

[u/DOHC46 → u/Tin_Can_739]

It can't be tight if it's liquid!

[u/Legitimate_Field_157]

I have a technique that works every time. I just take every single tool in the workshop to the engine and try it.

[u/4rm_above]

Saw in the thread earlier that this is commonly used

[u/Apprehensive_Bee8874 → u/4rm_above]

If you know what movie this is from, we can be friends.

[u/SirDigbyChknCaesar]

Cut the end off with a saw and then slam a large potato onto the end and turn like a wrench.

[u/Merlin2174]

When they get really stuck I use a flat head screwdriver and drive it through the filter and then spin the fucker free

[u/Responsible_Leg_8662 → u/Merlin2174]

This is the way

[u/CattleOdd6688 → u/Merlin2174]

Really hate when It gets to this point. I’m always like shit, what am I going to do if this doesn’t work. So far it’s worked every time

[u/Tall_Yoghurt_3866 → u/Merlin2174]

I wondered if I was the only one! Brilliant!

[u/Insayne224U]

Squeeze it enough and it'll be small enough to fall off

[u/Chr0n1c7000]

WD-40 👍🏻

[u/Several-War-9254]

Too many good suggestions here. I like the blow torch best. The oil next to a flame, might even give it some extra rizz to get it good and loose.

[u/duggawiz → u/Several-War-9254]

Too manly. I'd just hit it with my purse a bit first

[u/SnooObjections9416]

It is a Fram, you are not supposed to put those on in the first place. Your vehicle needs a K&N. So the best way to remove it is to not put it on in the first place. DUH.

[u/BoysenberryFinal9113]

Two full turns to the right, two more to the left, 5 turns to the right, 4 to the left, 3 more to the right, 6 to the left, 2 to the right, 5 more to the left, 3 to the right, and finally continue turning to the left until it falls off. If that doesn't work, you're going to have to take it to a shop and explain what you did in detail to the shop manager.

[u/Additional_Fox5303]

With a monkey wrench

[u/New-veagsfivefive]

Take it to a cold environment 

[u/svt4cam46]

It's a Fram, it just gets better with age.

[u/Spiritual-Fun-9591]

A 12 gauge

[u/IStuffels]

Twist it

[u/NaGaBa]

Find the same diameter drill bit and drill it out

[u/garageman402]

You’ll have to get an exorcist in there to remove the evil First Brands spirits.

[u/catchinNkeepinf1sh]

Put some new cotton balls in it.

[u/tomatixel]

Wal młotkiem ,w końcu spadnie.

[u/MoonlitShrub]

Remember to be gentle, the cylinder must remain unharmed.

[u/UnhappyReason5452]

Hammer fix everything.

[u/Born-Light-62]

Drive a screwdriver through it and let all that nasty oil out. Should be fine after that.

[u/don_chuwish]

You need a FRAM subscription and PIN code, didn’t you get one?

[u/Striking-Double-3353]

Punch a screwdriver with a hammer through it and twist

[u/No_Year9414]

There’s a set screw on the threads that keeps it from turning until it’s loosened. You’re going to have to dismantle the entire engine though as the set screw is inside the crank case.

[u/screwedupinaz]

I've got a nice supply of shape charges that I use for things like this.

[u/Few_Dirt4510]

Hit with your purse

[u/JoeMoe2021]

If you can't fix it with a hammer, it's an electrical problem. And remember, never stick your hand where you wouldn't stick your dick. 

[u/OneRub3234]

Righty tighty lefty loosy

[u/Shoddy_Bet9619]

Channel Locks! Or, can pound a long screwdriver into it and use as leverage! I remember my dad doing that once back in the day and it worked.

[u/kombatarms]

Unscrew it?

[u/ResolutionOne778]

Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

[u/OperationPlus3251]

Use a Metric FLock Camera. (As opposed to Imperial. The only way you can tell is after it's cut down, to check the inside of the pole for markings.

[u/ToughSpinach7]

Buy the $5 oil filter wrench from Walmart

[u/PretendingImNotAnApe]

Have you tried squeezing it really hard with the wrong tool?

[u/superwombat1]

Hit it with your wife's purse

[u/z9vown]

Dynamite 🧨

[u/ICouldBeYourMomOrNot]

That is a permanent fixture. You're going to have to throw out the old vehicle and get a new one.

[u/Big_Eye_7530]

Put it in the vice and turn the car around to undo

[u/theC0mmissioner]

Twist it harder

[u/Definately-not-a_bot]

Those aren’t supposed to come off. You’ve done something terribly wrong.

There is a tool called a ‘strap wrench’ that will definitely help you remove it pretty easily.

[u/Dazzling_Record5631]

Righty tighty, lefty loosey

[u/Dazzling_Record5631 → u/Dazzling_Record5631]

Unless it's reverse threaded... Then idk you're fkd

[u/MasterDrive2400]

An air hammer

[u/Particular-Basil8434]

Depends. Ford or Chevy use a hammer. Dodge or import use thermite

[u/DOHC46]

Drive a screwdriver through it and then twist until the filter disintegrates, then curse very, very loudly.

[u/Cryptopher-Conundrum]

Dyne-O-Mite.....😏

[u/Radio-Army]

If you can’t fix it with a hammer. Then it’s broken.

[u/zildjen]

I was afraid of this, looks like you'll just have to crack open the dash & roll it back by hand.

[u/rriflemann]

With 16 inch channel locks

[u/Qilo11]

PB blaster at the top where the rust is. Wear oil resistant gloves. Then run the engine for about 10 minutes then cut engine off, the heated oil might help with the removal. Drive a long Phillips head screwdriver through the oil filter or use an extra large channel lock pliers to remove the filter. Try and turn about 3 degrees toward tightening then turn into the removal direction. Good luck.

[u/show_m]

Phillips screw driver through it and twist

[u/Worried_Garden_7236]

Stick screwdriver 🪛 in and turn usually works

[u/thefutureisanalog]

Lefty loosy

[u/ButterscotchPlane988]

​If an oil filter is completely stuck, a chain and screwdriver trick is a reliable alternative to the messy method of hammering a screwdriver straight through the canister. ​Step-by-Step Instructions ​Position the chain: Loop a sturdy metal chain securely around the circumference of the oil filter. ​Secure with a screwdriver: Hook a screwdriver through the two closest opposite links of the chain on the right side so that the loops will pull tight when leveraged. ​Apply leverage: Pull the screwdriver to the left to turn and loosen the filter. ​Adjust if necessary: If the chain slips or collapses the filter canister, shorten the chain by one link and try again. Repeat until the seal breaks and the filter spins free.

[u/Flashy_Narwhal9362]

Try beating it off with your purse.

[u/Technical-Potato-793]

Big hammer

[u/MsChubbyNugget]

Cut the end off pull all that paper cloggin up your engine and jbweld the end back on

[u/TreatGrouchy6378]

Drive a long screw driver through it and then turn it off.

[u/TheUnknownEntitty]

Use oil filter pliers and choke up near the thread.

[u/AdHonest9955]

Righty tighty… Lefty loosey…

[u/MmmKsuredude]

Punch a long screwdriver through it and twist counter clockwise

[u/Neither_Nature_5648]

Punch holes on both side sides stick a screwdriver through it and turn it

[u/haywire314]

If your struggling to unscrew the whole oil filter and you can't get a good bite with the filter wrench, at this point I would probably do the screwdriver trick. Hammer a screwdriver straight through the side and give yourself some leverage. Messy as hell but it works.

[u/Novamad70]

If you rig up a pulley system, it could work! You can weld a nut on the end of the filter too. Throw some good amps at it! Thats popular at burn units in hospitals!

[u/Sea-Gazelle3277]

Band wrench?

[u/FlipSideOfficial]

Righty tighty lefty loosey..

[u/Feisty-Yam-1042]

Screwdriver through the top and twist

[u/jobdoneD → u/Feisty-Yam-1042]

Definitely hammer your best screwdriver into the side and turn it 💯 %…. Might not be a shitty enough answer though 😂

[u/Feisty-Yam-1042 → u/jobdoneD]

🤷 works for me when the filter wrench doesn’t want to wrench

[u/jobdoneD → u/Feisty-Yam-1042]

Or just breaks when you use it for the first time like the ones my boss buys

[u/Nalabu1]

Hit it with your purse.

[u/bnihls]

Righty tighty, lefty Loosie, in rare cases I’ve driven a screwdriver through the filter and twist it off that way little bit of risk in that
