Changing an oil filter on a generator?

The oil filter is being changed for the 1st time, it is so tight that the wrench won't even buget it. Apparently torqued too tight at the factory. I'm afraid I'll end up crushing it, before getting it loose.Changing an oil filter on a generator?
You might try to use a strap type oil filter wrench. Small filters like on generators don't do well with channel-locks, or buy a socket made for that size filter. It will come off, even if you crush it.


Good luck.
