What is the best way to replace crankcase vent filter? does the cap pull off or unscrew ? Need a lil help 1963 305E V6. Thanks JM

Crankcase filter cap is screw on/off.

[jmfurgason]

Thanks any idea how to screw off? wont budge so far

[LEWISMATKIN]

it sounds like it hasn't been off in quite a while. Try soaking it in a strong penetrating oil for a period of time, then using a strap-type oil filter wrench on the upper part of the housing to loosen the filter lid. hopefully, it will turn loose.

[jmfurgason]

Sure will try, thanks for suggestions Merry Christmas to all u GMC folks.

Oil filter wrench is a good idea, also put a little grease on the threads when you put it back on.

And Merry Christmas/Happy New Year to all of you.

Try a little heat with a propane torch then before cooling shoot around the base with and Penetration oil, do this each day for three days, letting it sit, on the forth day take a wrench to it.
