..... "over tightening" the filter .....
That was one of the most common problems we ran into when I was a mechanic. We had a German
built 3 finger filter wrench(Hazet) that the finger serrations paralleled the fingers so there was never
a filter it would not remove. We had filters that were installed by "one armed wheel chair racers", the
tool would crush the canister and tear it off the base, leaving it stuck to the flange.
As stated most filter manufacturers recommend 1/2 - 3/4 turn after the gasket contacts the mating surface.
When installing a Fleet Guard filter on my truck(3/4 turn after contact) most of the time I can remove it after
I wipe the dust off of the filter. On my wife's car and my Zuk, 1/2 turn and it can be removed by hand.
