which t-60 torx for the oil filter adapter upgrade


Recommended Posts

what are you guys using to remove the oil filter adapter?  tried to get a 97+ unit from the junkyard only to find that the t-60 bit plus the ratchet doesn't fit in the space available.  :(

I bought a t60 socket, popped the torx part out of the socket, got a long box end wrench that fit over the torx bit, then another wrench as an extension.

 

That's exactly what I heard was the answer. I was prepared for several months for an XJ to pop up in my local yard, only to find on day one each was posted available that someone else had gotten exactly that adapter and nothing else. I'd run out on lunch break the day one posted and it was gone. Like surgical precision. Then I found out a guy 1/2 hr. west of here was harvesting and selling them on EBay for $50.00. I actually bought one from him. He cleans them spotless and includes all needed o-rings for immediate installation. I just couldn't be mad at the guy... :roflmao:
