Oil filter mount

[Srt4RacerDave]

Need to remove the oil filter mount to do an oil change to do after market exhaust, and I am having problems. It looks like I have removed all the bolts holding it in, but it still won't come lose. I removed the three that connect it to the oil pan, and the other 3 that go through the tire side. What am I missing? Thanks

Did you find the one that gets covered by the lower timing cover?

Also, I'm less familiar with 1g's, but are you sure you even need to pull it out to change your oil and your down pipe?

Yes - the previous owner put an extension to where the oil filter connects to the mount to install an oil pressure guage, but the extension put the oil filter right up on the exhaust leaving it zero room to back out. So, to do an oil change, I need to take off the mount. Lower timing cover you say?

I have a 90, but there are only 4 bolts that hold the actual oil filter housing onto the car. Try tapping it with a rubber mallet or something.

Im going to have to try that. I'd swear that I have all the bolts out.

Try and heat it up/don't set the car on fire/ and then try tapping it with mallet.

Why not just remove the downpipe? 4 bolts as well...
