LOL-It's all good stuff though...We've covered a lot of ground here, filters, lug nuts, Walmart, spare tires vs tire sealer. What's next? Can't wait.

 

... i could bring up the walmart customer iq

 

You have to be careful with things like that. About the time this comes to mind when dealing with a customer is when you also find out that his application to work in the Walmart automotive dept with you was just approved. Lol

One time I thought that about a dimwit customer and it turned out he was my manager at a different new job I started the following week. What's the chances of that happening? Lol

 

I used a star wrench today instead of an air-impact and still got the wheel off, brakes inspected (just one side) and wheel back on in five minutes flat. Torqued to one-grunt amount and GTG.

 

heh had a 99 cherokee pull in with a massive 6 inch lift and big mudders kinda sad to see it a 2wd jeep and all these expensive mods.

 

I just cried a bit. But hey, mall crawling is apparently a thing.

 

Yup.... i was so happy to get in it and happened to look down and oh sadness and disappointment

 

I've never been so frustrated in all my life. The thing is stuck badly. The can is crumpled, with holes in it, the screwdriver trick didn't work...I don't know what else to do.

Any ideas?

If nothing else, i guess i'm towing it to the shop on monday...

 

I just went through this a while back. Bent an oil filter wrench, destrued the filter with a screw driver etc. one mistake I made was not running the engine first. The heat would have helped. Finally got it by using a hammer and chisel and turning it by banging on it on the edge with the seal. Ended up turning the filter adapter some in the process. Enough that the new filter wouldn’t go on because it was hitting the block.

Then I tried everything to remove the adapter and no luck there. Finally I just tapped the adapter back the opposite way with a hammer. I thought for sure it was just going to leak but not a drop. Needless to say I’ll no longer be snugging up my filters with a wrench.

 

I give the lugs nuts 3 braps

 

The wrenches and the screwdriver trick did this. I want to find whoever had the jeep before me and beat him with this filter.

 

Damn! How much of the old gasket was stuck to the surface of the adapter?

 

Tie it to a chain first. Itll hurt more.

 

All of it...

 

lol yikes idk why people put them on so tight
