old school can opener, or you can try the new style

punch a hole with a hammer and than use snips

That brand new SIXPACKGUT built motor is sludging up the oil filter? Thats hard to believe.

someone needs a nap!

It's not a thick metal and anything that can cut sheetmetel will cut the oil filter. get a f**kin grip.

[BigdaddyDupree]

stock mota and there was a buncha sludge in the motor and when we cleaned its clogging my oil filters. i just wanna see inside bill!

[LXtasy]

every single person who posted ideas WILL WORK tyler. Including a hacksaw. Plain and simple. Hell you can use a dremel , grinder or even a pair of side cutters if you needed to. The oil filter is thin metal to cut.

I've used the hacksaw before. ??

My niebor has a tool ( He works for Cat Blanchard) That is made to cut filters open I'm sure I can borrow it 696-7004 Mitch

[chrisheltra]

I saw a cat mechanic using one too on a cougar at work because of engine problems. I'm pretty sure the can opener method is best because it introduces less shavings to the filter media. Alowing engine manufacures to send the filters in for particulate testing to determine a failure of an engine.

Im a lazzy fuck. I would use a cut off wheel or a sawzaw.
