So I did the transmission fluid change today and put the impact wrench on the filter housing and after a few seconds of impacting the nut sheared off of the canister. My next plan is to put my small torch on the top of the canister to warm the threads up while I twist the outside of the filter housing with channel locks. Suggestions? Anybody else have any experience with destroying one of these filter housings. LOL
Well Im waiting on the tool to pull transmission lines out of the radiator which I could not find in any of the local parts stores. When that gets here I will go ahead and disconnect the lines from this filter housing remove it from the truck, put it in a vise and deal with it like that. I tried today repeatedly to free the housing with a torch ,quality channel locks and a lot of elbow grease with no luck..
Sounds like the filter has never been changed or was overtightened on the last change I'm suprised it did not twist the thin bracket all up before breaking the housing. Mine flexes allot when i unscrew it.

I would be the guilty party on the overtightening. DOH!!!!!
I stopped reefing on it before the bracket or something else broke.
Sean, I absolutely saturated it the night before. No dice...
Im just going to give it another day or so. I ll get that tool to install the new Mishimoto radiator, while I have the radiator out I believe Ill have a little more room to work on it and Ill pull it out and put it a vise. Hopefully that'll keep me from destroying the thing
One option would be to swap for n the 2008+ pan
With a full filtration systems n place of what you
Have right now. Then you can ditch that little filter.

Yeah--on that do you just take the tp filter out and leave it out?
There should be a writeup on putting the pan in.
But from what I understand you can toss the roll.
Or even better bypass the housing with some short lines.
That way if you don't want to buy a new one you don't
need it and get better filtering in the deal.
