Resolution to collapsed oil filter on F-250

Thanks again for all of the suggestions that were made
concerning my collapsed oil filter on my F-250 V-10 engine.

As a result of your ideas, I went to Advance Auto and bought a
filter tool that looks like a big "Channel-Lock" pliers that has two
claw-like things on the end of the jaws.

The claws gripped very well on the top of the oil filter canister
and I was able to unscrew it from the engine block.

Thanks again for your ideas. I'm back in business.

The sealing ring is what sticks them up,,,,I put a lite coat of wheel bearing grease on the filter sealing ring no more stuck filters....

I got lazy and for about a year just put a coat of motor oil on'em I regularly found I would have a stuck filter on the vehicles I service...

Another thing that will get ya is if there is paint on the sealing surface at the filter mount.... Always LOOK at the filter mount on the block and wipe it clean... A simple filter change can get expensive....

I would guess I have 6 to $800 in special filter removal tools and still don't have enough :shock:
 

I have a filter wrench that uses a half inch ratchet or breaker bar to operate. It has jaws that contract when the ratchet or bar is turned counter clockwise and locks on to the filter.It hasen't lost a fight with a filter yet.
 
I do the grease thing too. i cringe when i see a filter go on dry.. especially if it is in a heard to get to area.
 
Not sure why some folks seem to think it's necessary to wrench on an oil filter. I have been installing them hand tight for 30 some years. Never had a leak or a loosening. Oil plugs also only need to be snugged up with a wrench, not torqued to 200 ft lbs !

Very true though, the gasket needs to be oiled prior to installation.
