Well, I initially did that to get an initial "opening" to the oil filter. I
was given advice by my dear old mother to drill holes in key points of the
filter "disk"(not sure of the name), and then wedge something in there to
crank it out. I even attacked the plate with the carbide cutter, but that is
some THICK metal on there. It's a MANN filter btw, and that will be the last
filter from them. I had a choice between beck arnley and Fram, I am goin
with beck arnley. Hopefully the guy at Checker got the right part #, since
it'll be ready tomorrow.
Kids love the rich taste of web content!
