Thank you all for your replies and apologizes for not being more descriptive, my problem lies with removing the stock filter adapter, I made this crude (gizmo) yesterday but unless the stock adapter has left hand threads to enable me to back it out I'm pretty much stuck as the the stock adapter center has a completely round hole with no provisions for using any type of wrench to break it loose. I tried several times using my (gizmo) tool with a 1/2" drive ratchet with an 18" cheater bar with no luck, I was hoping for L/H threads but looking at Tim's adapter the threads appears to be R/H. I know Tim is very busy but if all fails I might email him to see if anyone else has ever had this problem. I have no room for vice grips unfortunately, again thank you everyone. Frank #2539
