Which filter removal tool ?

[James]

As title used to have a chain one which was restricted in which filters it could get on and has now disappeared, hence the question

We have one of these...

....Plug a 1/2" square drive ratchet in it and away you go. For awkward, long distance ones you can extend your reach with some extensions - sometimes saves you having to be directly under the filter and getting a neck full of oil.

I have two sorts one is a double chain loop it is very good but doesn't go around large filters I also have one that is an adjustable strap it will fit anything also it is easy to put on it some situations like the one yellowbelly shows, I used to have one that was a chain on a handle with a hook that was a load of crap.

Use the plier ones mainly but use them all

Home made one from a length of seat belt and a short length of 20mm box section.

 

[Lincs Lass]

These work well

Pardon our interruption...

 

[bobk]

Chain wrench every time

 

[Agriimark]

Jokes aside it has to be a chain wrench for me

Think mine is half one end and 3/8 the other. Had a Snapon version that for some reason was much better

 

[Hard Graft]

mines is a draper and has 1/2'' and 3/8 the other as well

Been using a length of seat belt and a surplus sparkplug socket with a couple of slots cut along its sides it for years.

I have this set - there isnt a filter they havent been able to remove even the JD trans alloy canisters that just seize up and the plastic collars for the fuel filters.

Like the look of those seen lads in local dealer using similar

 

[Hard Graft]

that style are good and Been thinking off getting a set But on my old sp spyayer a lot off the filters were very tight

 

[ianm641]

interesting topic i have worked as a truck mechanic for many years and have still not found the elusive one too fits all for filters on old machinery access was good but on newer machinery everything is crammed in . i think Hard grafts post sums up my arsenal of weapons of choice for filter removal and goweresque home made remover i have one very similar but the box section is much longer around 2ft in old money but works very well without the need to add extensions .

 

[Barleymow]

I Use a length of chain with a bolt welded to it ,have a couple of different sizes use socket and ratchet to undo it

 

[Ukjay]

these are very good @sawdust bought them and reported they gripped really well

Chain wrench here, an off the shelf number that fits a 1/2" ratchet usually, but did have to use this patented version to get the Hyd filters off the combine this year:

 

[nick...]

Does anyone use the cups that fit on end of filter then put a 3/8 or 1/2 drive ratchet on.i bought a set,maybe 20 to remove a filter on a thwaites dumper and use them for everything now and nothing has stopped them yet.
