Well, at least it's off, that's the good news.

Bad news is I looked in my Man Field Manual, and unfortunately you are not allowed to drive the boat anymore. Check Section 8 for the man card recovery procedure. It's gonna be a long winter.

I am hesitant to comment on anything in this thread - my winterize / oil & filter change trip is still a few weeks away .... Heading to Kohl's tomorrow to get a new purse and heels, just in case.

Large channel lock/adjustable pliers. maybe a back-up pair on the bracket as well (if you can get one on it).

Went ahead and gave it another shot this morning using the oil filter pliers I borrowed from work so that I could return them asap. It literally took all the hand strength I had and a foot prop on t

The giant channel locks work for me. Buy quality, the cheap ones will let you down. Sometimes it comes down to stripping away the entire filter housing and using a home made tool sorta shaped like an F. The fingers on the F go into the oil passage holes in the base of the filter. You can make the tool with some flat stock and a couple of bolts. I hope I explained that well because at some point it may be your only option.

:plus1:

Tried everything i could think of then a friend came over with a big pair of channel locks and after using the appropriate language it came off fairly easy. It seems like the factory always puts the oil filters on with an impact.

Filter removed - the dealer took care of it for me - my only expense was the drive there and back.

Not sure what they did or how they removed it - i had to leave it and go back.

EDIT - I got a big-a$$ wrench and manhandled the filter into submission. Then I threw it against the wall to prove my point.

The replacement filter got so scared it installed itself.

The Sears strap did not work, but I am glad to have the set in my tool box.

Next purchase will be the Channel Lock pliers.

So anyway, winterizing all done - fresh oil, a filter.

This Friday it is back to Tennessee to the storage building :cry:

:notworthy:

Ha!! They didn't even charge you for it!! That's funny but cool of them. Could you tell they were trying to hold back their laughter? What are you planning on doing all winter with no mancard? Maybe cook some great new meals for the holidays, go shopping and update your wardrobe (I'll bet you need a new purse), or redecorate the house :biggrin:

:cheers: ....I'll take one when you get a chance...

Currently doing some work on the house, with mancard in tact, :tease1: and at this very moment I am fixing my kids a great meal of home made meat balls and home made sauce with some store bought spaghetti, man card still in tact. :Tease3: Wifey is in a little red dress and we are headed out.

Now about that beer :wine: I say make it a Cabernet.

:werule: I really do like this site!

Ha! Let me check something in Michiganboarders Mancard rule book.....ah here it is, section 12 paragraph 3 states that cooking is admissable as long as the overall intention is get some alone time with a lady friend. I think you're good REW :biggrin:

Now, about the wine comment..... :no:

Yeah boy! Rockon.gif Good man.

Nothing wrong with a good glass of wine here and there. I brought quite a bit of it back from Australia when I visited the Hunter Valley. Good stuff.

Oh, and I just bought two new Stainless Marine exhaust manifolds for the Sunsetter so my man card is safe as can be. Whistling.gif

One man card approved purchase does not award immunity against the penalties of consuming wine, which happens to be a 2nd degree man card felony (see appendix A-2 for the complete list of offenses by classification). :biggrin:

Now THAT is funny.

Chipped a nail trying to remove an oil filter...

Was that before, after, or because of, hitting it with your purse? :rofl:

You didn't get any oil on your skirt, did you? :innocent:
