I used that bogert talon oil filter removal tool that I linked to above, and finally got it off. It needed a breaker bar and had to turn maybe a full turn before it got any looser, and then I still had to use a ratchet until it was completely off. I don’t know what the previous owner did, but the oil is changed now lol.
I don’t have access to an air hammer, but that’s a good idea! I’ll update in a week or two when the part ships out. Fortunately I’ve got a lot of other work to do on the truck in the meantime.
Well I was using a flat head screwdriver as a punch because I didn’t have a long enough punch. I suppose the air hammer could work, but I assume that it’ll just cut through the filter head like the screwdriver did.
I went and ordered one of these things: https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/topages/talonoilfilter.php?gclid=Cj0KCQiAy579BRCPARIsAB6QoIawYVlxymFajP4AKoceU7B1hP13lrzJE5tEDoDOlWA5JQYNxHZtppYaAibhEALw_wcB
It’s pretty expensive and will take a while to ship, but it’s less expensive than learning how to weld lol. Plus I don’t like the idea of welding right by all that oil and diesel, especially when I don’t know what I’m doing.
Here’s a link to some photos if it’s helpful. I think it’s more embarrassing than helpful, but I need help lol.
