 |
|
Which is your favourite tool for the removal of an oil filter? I have
got an O-320 and a Kelly Aerospace ES48108-1 filter attached to the firewall.
Thanks.

George:
The filter has a (I believe) a 1" hex-nut on the end. So the easiest tool to use is a 1" Combination wrench. REMEMBER you do NOT kill the filter with tons of torque. Most filters have the required torque written right on them. It is basically Hand Tight and them 1/2 a turn more.

I've measured a dozen or so oil filters that I've installed. 70-80 inch-lbs is plenty of torque. The 192 to 216 inch-lbs as marked on the filter (16-18 ft-lbs) is ridiculous over kill. It shouldn't take a gorilla to remove the filter.

Gary:
I agree with you 100%.
And the main reasons are:
1 - The male and female threads are Oil Coated - And they better be.
2 - The Rubber gasket is oil coat - And it better be.
3 - Even if you use a torque wrench on the oil filter to the required torque the holding force because of the OIL will be much higher then truly required.
QUESTION: I never checked - - Does the printed torque say Wet or Dry?
If not stated then it means DRY and if DRY it is incorrect to install the rubber gasket that way.
HAND TIGHT PLUS 1/2 A TURN MORE.
Never had a oil filter leak.
Never hand a oil filter come loose.
NEVER - NEVER had to use a breaker bar or a screwdriver through a oil filter to remove it.
AND Don't forget you should be using Safety Wire.
