[QUOTE="cchardwick, post: 5765, member: 758"] That's what I thought too, must be regular threads not reverse. I guess I'll buy a 1/2 inch drive socket, breaker bar and extension and a big pipe and crank on it some more. The only thing I'm really worried about is that there is a threaded pipe between the filter housing and the hydraulic pump and it looks like someone tried to get the filter off and beat on a wrench with a hammer or something that damaged the threaded pipe going into the hydraulic pump due to extreme torque. There is a bunch of play in the pipe where it screws into the pump and it looks like it's threaded all the way into the pump. It's real sloppy and I can even wiggle the filter unit by hand. I'm hoping it doesn't break when I crank on it or I'll have to do some major repair right now. I'm hoping I can leave this problem until all the snow storms have passed and work on it this spring. It doesn't seem to be leaking which is surprising. I looked in my parts manual and I noticed there is a gasket in there, perhaps it's enough to keep it from leaking. Plus it's on the low pressure / intake side of the pump. Either way I think I'm eventually going to have to pull the pump and either get a new pump or try to tap it with new threads and a helicoil. Boy, I wonder how much a new hydraulic pump will be OUCH! [/QUOTE]
