I've always felt that the time-honored technique of punching a
screwdriver through an oil filter was just plain asking for trouble,
but from the looks of it, this poor guy was doomed from the start no
matter what he tried.
In the course of the struggle, the filter ended
up getting sheared off down to its base, so there's now basically
nothing left to grab onto to make it turn.
I'm not exactly sure how the
Saab 9-5 is set up, but from these pics, it doesn't look like getting
to the threaded spigot from the other side of the block wall with the
motor disassembled is much of an option either.
Ever had this happen to
you? What should he try next?
