2002 LB7 what is the right oil filter wrench?

[dgalvin66]

Need to remove the filter and want to know what wrench to look for. Autozone's website reccomends a Performance Tool brand part number W54107, it is the type that slips onto the end of the filter like a socket. Is this the correct tool or what workss best?
Thanks

Any type of strap wrench will work. Or go to the store, get the filter, and size the filter socket to it.

Duramax oil filters are easily reached. You can go https://www.amazon.com/Channellock-...id=1709471391&sprefix=oil+fil,aps,108&sr=8-24 or https://www.amazon.com/Tools-3149-N...09471536&sprefix=strap+wrench,aps,106&sr=8-34

I like the second type a bit better as I use it for the oil filters on the LLY (non OEM setup) and I can get the fuel filter off by threading it backwards over the WIF sensor pointing the handle upward to break the seal.

This kind of strap wrench is the best IMO. I use this type with a half inch drive ratchet, never failed to get a filter off yet.
