Oil filter plate

I have a 1" socket I had to grind the taper off of. The nut part is so thin you can't get the socket to grab much unless you make it flate rather than tapered at the end. If it's messed up you can buy replacements or ask aropund. I can probably find one if you need it too. If you cant get it loose, you can also get two nuts the same thread as the filter (1/2-28?) and double nut it to get it off. Or a welder and weld a nut to the filter nipple. They have to be fairly tight or the filter plate will leak.
