Due to limited accessability of the oil filter, to remove the filter it is necessary to use the Kent-Moore oil filter cup wrench #J34027 as follows:
1.
Place the Kent-Moore tool over the end of the filter. Insert a long (12" or longer) 1/2" drive extension bar into the center drive position of the cup
wrench by way of the inner fender well, going over and past the tire.
2.
A 1/2" drive ratchet or pull bar may now be used on the extension within the well to loosen the filter.
3.
Lubricate the seal on the new filter to insure proper installation. Torque oil filter to 16-23 N-m or 12-17 ft.lbs. Do not overtorque.
