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.

Your hand, if have to use a wrench, you might want to look at your auto store for a oil filter remover tool, its like a zip tie the wraps around the oil filter. It sounds also like you(or someone else) put the oil filter on to tight, look in your manual or search it for corect amount of presuure. When replace mine I usually do a 3/4 turn on the filter when it is screwed on and just made contact with the engine.

I use a standard cap style filter wrench. Oil filters come in different sizes and require the same size wrench . I forget which metric size this one is but it is the standard size for Honda and Mazda. Any decent auto parts store should be able to match you up by taking a filter off the shelf and finding the right size cap style filter wrench. Over the years I have accumulated several of these in different sizes. I prefer the ones made of steel instead of plastic.

I have removed the dust cover. There is a little plastic piece in the back which you would use to hold and lift the unit. You can pull it down and back, and it does snap out and you can clean the little filter. then snap cover back on. You will see where the little tabs are so you can reinsert properly.

Yes. It's better to use the wrench to remove/install the filter housing to change the filter cartridge.

Assuming it's the same model, it's kind of tricky to visualize which way to turn the filter to remove it. It should have come with a weird, hoop wrench which you slide up the filter casing and then rotate to the left (lefty loosy). You can only really get enough torque if it's mounted in its bracket. Be sure to turn off the intake valve or the water main first and open up the filter spigot, in case this additional pressure seals the filter casing tighter. Hope the helps!

Count the flats or "flutes" on the plastic cartridge housing. That should match the filter housing with the tool. Cartridge filters are a pain! Good luck.

We had the same problem - evidently we may have waited too long to change the filter and so much pressure built up in the chamber that it ruined the plastic threads in the cap. We had to use some large channel lock pliers to turn the cap out and ruined the threads in the process. We contacted customer support about the problem and they replaced the unit - hope this helps

i imagine that the pressure would subside in time to get it open again .... or maybe the fit of the cap screw is not alined ... i'd check with manufacturer ... i just bought another one great filter

Try flipping the attachment ring over and then screw it on. Then screw the filter on. This should work. When I first tried mine I thought it did not fit until I flipped the adapter over.

Actually, that is what I thought, too. But, it seems the screw was STUCK inside the first filter I had, and I had to basically destroy the original filter to remove it. It fits perfectly into this filter and comes out easily for future replacements.

Smaller O-Ring goes under filter drain cap at bottom of the filter. Use 1/4" socket drive to remove the drain cap. Plastic tool is used to drain the oil left in the filter after the drain cap is removed.

I don't use a wrench as i only put them on hand tight,If you can't get the filters off that the dealership installed use the wrench that adapts to the bottom of the filter. CTA Tools 2489 86-Millimeter Heavy-Duty Cap-Type Oil Filter Wrench

I dont know. This isn't a filter remover. This removes the aluminum oil cartridge housing when changing the oil on a (in my case) Toyota Highlander. If your rig uses the standard oil filter, that's not what this tool is used for.

Robert,you have the wrong filter-should have tabs at the top-filter order #AP1PKP-Oreck-Very difficult to find and expensive

Yes, Sometimes you need to hold the wrench jaws to snug up on the oil filter. Once the jaws grip the filter they do not let go easily. It widely depends on the applications the wrench is being used for.

The answers below are correct and will work fine for you. The filter holder is like a flat stick with a finger hole in the top to help you pull it out.
