2016 CTD, cant' get oil filter out!
Trying to get the oil filter out the side wheel well like shown on youtube but it does not seem to be enough room as it's hitting the metal lines! Any trick to this? I know I can come out the top ...

Removing the tire certainly helps; however, on my '16 Cummins, the plastic "inner flap" or wheel well is 1-2" outside the access area where the tranny lines are located. My hands and arms rarely touch the plastic "inner flap" or wheel well when I'm removing the oil filter.donn0128 wrote:See BOLD highlighted text^^^^^^
For the first oil filter change, jack the RF wheel up, take the wheel off and unscrew the numberous screws holding the inner flap in. This is by far the best way. The factoriy filter is on really really tight. I have a very large pair of water pump plyers that I was able to use. Lacking that, take a large screw driver and drive it through the filter and unscrew it.
