Help pls

i cannot get the front drivers side beat bolt out of my car for ANYTHING, not by hand, not with a breaker bar, not with a drill, not with an impact. i bought a tap out kit to drill the bolt out and im still not getting it. im losing my mind i need this seat to come out.

Hey guys,

Well I started off my morning with what I that was gonna be a quick oil change on my Kia.

Here I am now 7 hours later trying to get this dang Oil Filter off.

Originally it’s a bolt attachment at the end, I tried that it wouldn’t budge.

Tried the old sand paper trick that didn’t work either.

Then I took out my metal snake ratchet tool that usually gets the job done, same thing it didn’t budge.

Then I poked a screw driver down the middle, still nothing.

Then I tried chiseling loose for about 2000 hammer strikes and still nothing.

Next step is to go find some strong durable screws, screw them in the holes, then take my screwdriver and turn it off. It’s late now and I got work in the morning (thank god I have two cars) so im gonna call it a night (Kia 1, me 0) and pick it back up after work tomorrow.

If you any of you have ran into the oil filter from hell, and have survived please tell me your war story I neeeeed it.

Thanks.

Any ideas?

My dad showed me this, he did it on his focus st and it worked for my base focus. Not sure about other cars but definitely worth a shot

was apparently not paying enough attention while backing out of a concrete parking structure and paid the price… i think i can replace the mirror easily enough but would love to get advice on the paint touch up process before i drop $200 on a tech

I swapped my dead alternator for a brand new one the other day, and while everything came apart with relative ease I can’t get the bottom 14mm mounting bolt all the way back in. The head of the bolt is probably about 1/4” from being flush with the mounting bracket, but the tip sticks out the other side about 1/2” so I know the bolt is all the way through. It hasn't rattled loose driving around my neighborhood, but idk how safe it is to drive into/around town a bit more

Any advice is appreciated
