Oil Filter removal help tiprtpassini 10-03-2008, 11:05 AM just thought i would post a tip i found out.
if you dont have a filter with a nut on the end, the filter can get slippery and make it hard to get off. i looked around every where to find something to help grip it. i took 1000 grit sandpaper and wrapped it around the filter. NO problems getting it off. worked amazing and didnt damage the filter Sal_R1 10-03-2008, 12:12 PM Cool tip Ryan.:thumbup GETONIT 10-05-2008, 10:00 PM Good idea.. I hope i can remeber this idea if i ever have an issue removing a slippery oil filter! R1 10-05-2008, 10:07 PM you can also use a leather belt and a large socket and wratchet..... bmacknyc1k 10-11-2008, 01:38 PM the best thing I've used is a filter wrench, not made by Yamaha, off ebay, will fit other MC filters as well, and attaches to a 3/8" drive yankin&bankin 10-11-2008, 01:42 PM How about just not twisting the filter on with all the strength you have?
