FILTER ADAPTER TOOL

FILTER ADAPTER TOOL
Removing and installing an older Ford oil filter adapter without damaging it is easy when you make this tool. Find a nut that fits on the threads and cut a slot with a cutoff wheel. Next apply valve grinding com­pound to the threads, install the nut, clamp the nut between the void with a vise grip and rotate it out of the block. Valve grinding compound should not be used to reinstall it.
