Can anyone recommend a housing wrench for this filter?

There are only 2 sizes of these wrenches. this 1 takes the larger size and any hardware store should have it

Try this site. I don't know which wrench fits the best. Try asking their respective manufacturers. Perhaps ask them the dimension of their own filters to narrow the choices or the radius of their wrench. Remember, you'll want your wrench radius to go only 1/3 to 1/2 down from the top of the housing to avoid interference from the spout. http://www.best-deal.com/search/landing/query/filter+wrenches/s/yahoo/?ef_id=U4OkHQAAAAPA5pbz:20140608033118:s

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

You attach the blade to the filter with the wrench. Our model is the stainless steel.

The filter housing I have (they may differ) is like a little tower that stands by the sink with a spout coming out of it. I disconnect the hoses, turn it upside down. Then it's like opening a large jar, but with an easier grip. The previous comment described using vinegar-water to loosen sediment and (brilliant!) an oil-filter wrench to take it off. But I've never needed either. It twists off just like a jar lid.

By filter wrench do you mean a classic universal old-time oil filter wrench or one of the sleeves that fit onto a socket wrench? The sleeves come in standard sizes and to my knowledge none of them fit this oil filter. It is extremely frustrating since the filter is in an awkward position on my Toyota to begin with. I have resorted to using both hands to unscrew the filter when changing it. I use one hand to put it on and tighten it and two to take it off. Doesn't leak and seems to work fine, but would sure appreciate it if Wix would make it so it fits one of the standard sleeve sizes.

I have NO Idea. I was looking for a wrench for a specific filter, and this fit it. SORRY.

I've always been able to remove it by hand. Sears sells a Craftsman Universal oil filter wrench that would probably work well for this.

1/2" drill bit for metal, when securing the housing for the filter, you must drill one extra hole on the factory mount. It will read as such in the directions.

Hagen makes the Fluval line of pump filters. They should have parts search by model I suspect, but if the unit is not that old (less than a couple years) the ring gasket may not be set in the groove correctly before clamped down.

There are a couple of different sizes used. This turned out to be too large for my filter. I would recommend finding out what size bolt you have first. Either use a gauge or try a nut of known size.

First I thought I need a wrench removing the filter,its been 4months and when I tried to unscrew and remove the filter case I thought its tightly screwed but I just unscrewed with my hands without any aid of a wrench and successfully replaced the filter. be sure both of your hands and filter case are dry. Placing a rubber bands in the filter will help you avoid slips when unscrewing the filter case with your hands. hopes this help

Yes I have that housing and it takes that size filter, but it is a tight fit so you might not be able to use the gasket that comes with the filter if it is too thick.

This filter wrench fits perfectly over the factory oil filter (part number 15400-PLM-A02, universal oil filter used for a large range of past and present Honda models). i recommend this wrench, it is a great product. Happy oil changing!

One of the nice things about shower filters is that they screw on easily and use rubber washers at each connection like your outside hose. If you have a good grip you can do all this by hand without wrenches. Follow instructions exactly that they send you and you will have no trouble at all.Bill

Your old filter should have a removable insert with threads that you can take off and put on the new one

You are talking about the old filter right? If so, yeah, it seems to get stuck pretty good on there over time. If you can get a pair of pliers on the bottom part and twist counter clockwise, remember it's upside down. Once you get it started, it still is pretty difficult until you get it all the way off. Good luck. Thanks.
