Urgent help please.

Next time, get some 110v electrical flex and wrap it around the filter - you can use it like a "grinder" on a yacht to spin the fitter off - either that or a bigger hammer !!

This is messed up. Thanks for sharing so people know what not to do or keep from happening.

Indeed. Failure on this project did not end, when I went to lower the car I had the jack arm out at approx 45 degrees and the car bumper came crashing down on it, resulting in a ding in the lower center part of the bumper FML! I am sure heat gun will fix that tho, only size of a penny. - cue my next thread, "urgent help, I burnt paint off"

You'd think that I am a total noob at oil changes. All the cars I have had I used to change the oil and also brakes and tranny oil etc not many issues. Hell and I have a lot of cars I am like 43 years old!

I try to be as sober as possible before I attempt any sort of work that involves tools.

And so ends another episode of "Limeybastard." Tune in next week for more of his zany antics.

You're right. I did think that

At least you're entertaining

This is always how I begin. Depending on the work, this isn't always the case when I finish. I practically needed a six pack just to limber up so I could contort myself under the dash to install my RJM clutch pedal assembly. And then there's the time I didn't have all the tools, so I had to call my buddy to drive across town - I might have had a few too many while waiting as he had to finish up the work for me

You are a good man and you impress me with your willingness to be a human being here -- warts and all.

Good job, my friend.
