Next time try turning the wheels all the way to the left

 

3valve, I use the Motorcraft filters. Trying to keep it stock. Just the Fram filter wrench...or what's left of it.

 

Lol. Nice job. That was a good idea, and you didn't compromise the safety of your truck.

 

Next time, buy a filter cup or socket that is fairly thin metal and fits over the end of the filter. I think it is 93 mm and fits a 3/8" ratchet. Make sure you buy filters to work with this cup or else your SOL. Usually the Ford 820s is your best filter, fit etc. What is wrong with Fram??? Never had any issues ever (knock on wood)- or is this another long topic? Search for this tool at Pep boys, Autozone whereever. It is great.
