what is the trick to it?!?!

I've actually "yanked" off one of these by removing an aftermarket oil filter that was tighten just a "weee" too much...

It should spin out of there by simply spinning the threaded coupler fitting "counterclockwise" big *** pliers or visegrips will work.... if you are trying to save the fitting along with the threads, it might be a little more trickier.... GL

 

thanks man, thats where im at, so this will work?

i just need enough pressure on teh fitting so it spins eh?

any other tips will help...

This is so ghetto but i had to do it in a bind last week, I took 2 old oil filters and cut the bottoms off with my die grinder, then I threaded one of them on and then the other, I tightened them together like the 2 nut trick and then grabbed the inner one with a pair of vise grips and unscrewed it.(I had to reuse it so it couldnt be damaged). Hey you have to make do with the tools you have
