I've been away for awhile, but I'm back with a need for ideas and suggestions.
The weather was nice enough today to go for a ride and then change the oil on my C14. I removed the drain plug and drained the oil, but could not budge the oil filter. We all know how inaccessible it is, and I was working on it over an hour, but no success. I tried several cap style wrenches, another tool that looked like a big scissors with the curved blades to grip, Channel-locks, vice-grips. Years ago I drove a screw driver through a filter and used that for leverage to loosen the filter. No luck today, I eventually mangled the filter and removed it in pieces, except for the base. That may still be there long after I'm gone...
I have a service manual and think if I remove the lower body panel, I'll get a bit more access to the darn thing.
Any other advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
