Hi Members. Apologies for my very first post being a Porsche "Newbie" one, but I had a bear of a time yesterday trying to remove the oil filter on my just-acquired '73 914 2.0.

My trusty clamp style removal tool wouldn't expand wide enough to grab the old, in-place filter.The OD of original filter case is about 4" (101.6 mm) Side handle tools just would not fit in the limited space as well.

After a good hour I did manage to finally get it out! I did the oil sump/strainer clean-up and regasketing as well – which also required some patience and coaxing.

So my question is, is there a recommended wrench, socket or clamp tool for the oil filter removal?

Thanks in-advance for your help.
Jim

no special tool and does not need to tight. Especially for the strainer bolt, don’t over tighten it or else you will end up opening the engine case.
