Absolutely amazing.....you probably loosened them with the wrenches and the paint removal was just a side note......but you were there, you did it and who am I to doubt you....nobody.Ohh, it's not.....
When it was time for the first 50 hour, those filters were just as others described.... put on by a gorilla sized torque wrench, then painted.
I have a very nice pair of the oil filter channel locks. Couldn't budge them.....then I remembered about cutting the paint around the edge of the filter.
Guess what? either I got very, very strong, or cutting the paint works. I was able to unscrew them with two hands....
