Question: Backhoe hyd filter housing stuck

[schulte]

Got a Deere 410c that I've been trying to change the hydraulic filter on.

Filter housing is stuck and the nut on the bottom (1.5" drive) is cracked off and leaking.

Tried a large snap on filter wrench and it just broke.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Have a super size adjustable?

Is it a cannister or spin on?

I wonder if it would be too brittle to drive an old screwdriver through the side of it and twist it off that way. Not too sure. It looks like cast and may just break off in pieces if you try that.

I do, up to 48". The nut on the bottom just shattered.

It's cast, and I'd like to save the housing. A new one is over $700 from Deere.

Canister. Cast aluminum. $700+ to replace haha.

I'm going to give a chain wrench a try.

Use a big heavy duty strap wrench, one for industrial equipment. Use the strap wrench and a wrench on whats left of the removal nut.

Ya that's what I'd try. Chain or strap wrench and a snipe. As high up on the cannister as you can get. If it breaks then I guess it's a chisel and hammer and swear words at that point.

I'm guessing not, but can you remove the whole filter head? Had to do that a lot in the past.

That's my last ditch effort... there's a lot of lines that go to the head, they're big, and hard to access...

Heat it up with a heat gun and use a metal banded filter wrench. Should come right off...
