Random Tip: Stuck Oil Filter

I change my own oil, not because it's cheaper, but because then I know what kind of work goes into it, and if there are other issues I need to be aware of. So I was out there and got to needing to get the oil filter off. It's a no-go. It won't come off. I tried everything. I tried three filter wrenches, a pair of huge channel locks, nothing helped. Although the channel locks did severely warp the can. Which actually looked kind of cool. So then I used my computer smarts... When there's something wrong with my computer, what do I do? Google it! One of the first things that came up was a link to Jim's Garage. Apparently, and I would have never thought of this, but if you get a really long screwdriver and jam it into the can and hammer it in all the way through, your oil filter just got a nifty handle. So keep that in mind if you ever get into that kind of situation. Though you might want to hammer slowly until the oil gets out of the filter, or you'll have a nasty mess.

So, maybe that'll help someone ☺.
