Help! Can't Remove aftermarket K&N Oil Filter from K100

(1/9) > >>

WHITE91K100RS:
Hey Brickheads,


Hoping to get some insight from you guys in terms of best approach. I have a 1991 K100 that has an aftermarket K&N brand oil filter with a stripped out nut. As a result, I'm have a hell of a hard time removing this damn oil filter. See filter below:




I'm trying to get this filter out without having to drop the oil pan on the bike and turn it into a larger project than it needs to be. I saw this video from Chris Harris regarding his clever idea to removing a stuck filter - but I don't think it will work for me due to the large (stripped out....grrr) nut that is on the bottom of the K&N brand filter (see image below)





Do any of you guys have any ideas? Any insight from you all would be greatly appreciated. Spring is on the way and I want to get a fresh filter in there  :falldown:

koapono:
try using longer screws to span the gap between K&N filter and BMW filter-wrench. You may have to use larger screws, #10 or so, to handle the additional stress. Seems you have little to lose at this point.

Chaos:
have you tried a large vice grip on the K&N nut, or am I visualizing your problem wrong?  Worst you could do is rip the nut off, then Chris's method ought to work.

Nailhead:
Yeah, that big stripped nut & years in the oilfield say “pipe wrench” to me.
