Oil Filter Wrench
So, is everyone using an end cap wrench to remove the filter?

I grew up on a farm. When we could not get a filter off we just banged a screw driver through the body of the filter for the leverage approach to removal. It just looks too dam tight in the YARIS for this approach, but I never tried before.

I thought I was the only one that did that! Damn messy as the oil starts to squirt out all down the tools and your arm. Get the filter wrench. It will rip the filter right off of there no matter how tight.

When you are wrenching a dozer, or tractor the dino dribble is no big deal. Of course pouring a couple of cases in the crank does take a few minutes! |

you all do realize oil filters are a low torque gasket, filters should be on hand tight, no need to He-man those bitches on. No real need for a filter wrench with the location of our filter. None of you have ever worked in a fast pased shop inviroment before, no one ever used filter wrenches unless, some numb-nuts over torqued the filter the last time they changed the oil.
