[QUOTE="Pat Freeman, post: 642349, member: 55026"] I had the same problem getting the factory filter off. I took it to Jiffy Lube to ask them to get it off but they wouldn't touch it since it wasn't in their computer. I told them it's a PH2 like the rest of the Explorers but they wouldn't touch it. Kept telling me it was an '06, etc. Uggh. Finally went to Pep Boys where I got a perfect-fit metal filter wrench. With a 6" extension and ratchet, I barely cleared the housing around the radiator and got it off after much screaming and yelling. Put filter #2 on by myself, using oil on the seal and hand tight. It came off easily. I wish Ford would have run an extension up under the bumper, like they did in the F150's to make it easier to get to the filter. [/QUOTE]
