Blueadventures Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This is a wrench suitable for using when removing Rotax 912 oil filters. I found this on Thingiverse and a mate made a couple for me. Image of the black one is the one made last night. Worth getting made. Cheers Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippydiesel Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This is what I have used for the last 15 years. Has never failed me. Good in a tight spot. Will accommodate a wide variation in spin on filter sizes. About $12 on EBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil_S Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hi guys, After many years trying to find something that worked I came across the wonderful strap wrench. Available at Bunnings in multiple sizes for <$15. Works a treat! Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of date now, too many people were getting the filters off so the engine designers mounted them upright, but under the vehicle near the sump, so you need two; one which loosens the filter from the top, which also needs a knuckle joint to get under some electronics and one to spin the filter on its top from underneath.

So far this filter remover has not failed me - mowers, cars, generators, tractors - all done! The beauty of it is the "strap" is some sort of spring steel, with raised dimples for added grip. The strap is very thin, so access has never been an issue and the tightening mechanism easy to manipulate, even in difficult access situations, to get a good grip. I even managed to do a filter on a Suzuki Vitara - the worst access I have ever come across. Anyhow access to aircraft filters is easy, due to being able to remove the body (cowling) so I am not sure what you are referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
