yeah i can say i've destroyed the filter with a screwdriver plenty of times because i couldn't find my wrench for it. cutting my hands in the process from the sharp alum. it would prolly be easy to just take it to a place.[addsig]

[Snitty]

just make sure you don't put it on too tight, and lube it first... many times the shops will put it on there as tight as they can... and the same goes with the drain plug.... I like to turn my own parts on my jeep... I don't like other people doing stuff that I can't see[addsig]

[jterp]

JPS - Your jeep looks like a motorcycle![addsig]

119. No part of your vehicle even closely resembles any picture in your repair manual anymore[addsig]
