Did an oil change on the Avalanche, what a retarded place for an oil filter could hardly get my filter wrench on it. Also I think it was low on oil a little, like only 4.25 quarts came out lol.

Get a better filter wrench or grow some man hands.

Those filters are super easy, 4WD are just a little tighter on space.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

strap filter wrenches are perfect for those.

even though you can still get them with the claw
 


Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I just use one of these, they are my favorite filter pliers.

Mine are silver with black dip and hells yeah thats the best kind f the rest.

Rode the GTP near a hunnert mile today, she never flinched. Crawled around in the attic of a hunnert year old house too, ended up fixin some wiring and restoring A/C to a disabled friend lady's home for a bacon and cheese sandwich. Just in time, been rainy and cooler all week and the sun just started peekin out tonite but is due to blaze for a few days. Texted car-showing boss proof of weeks mission accomplished, it was a good day. Might try my hand at weedeater fixin tomorrow, of my own. Could NOT figure how to tear it down enough to replace fuel line last time I messed with it. Need it now!

The very bottom on most oil filters are pretty strong too, the last 3/4in with the ridges/humps.

I don't squeeze the **** outta the filter but just enough to dent it a little to give it some bite, then I turn them and it won't crush it all the way. You get good at doing certain cars that way when you do thousands of oil changes a year.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

I've been known to use the old band type with pry handle and those are great IF the car design allows it. Had to buy the pliers-type when I went FWD bcuz tiny filter.
 


Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Crammed an 04 gtp radiator in my car today. Not exactly a bolt in process, much choppin and a little welding. Freakin' hose clamps were kicking my arse for a bit. Couldn't get the one on the water pump back on, didn't feel like taking the belt and idler pulley off. So I devised a way to kick its ass. A little fishing line...



Slip it on and then just cut the line when I got it where I wanted it. Felt good about kicking some hose clamp ass.
 
Re: What did you do to your Car today? Vol 2.0

Pffft, next you'll be telling me I need a wrench for bolts when shoe strings and bubble gum works just fine.
