Great job, Dan H!

@CharlesSmith-gw7gp says:

For my 93, i cant remember if that bolt is a allan head or torx, i took the bit out of the original socket and stuck it in a shorter socket, used a 3/8 ratchet with a pipe to break it loose. I also have that felpro blue valve cover gasket.

Eyeball Oil, knuckle Buster..

I got it,.

@johnweber4169 says:

When putting the oil filter adaptor back on when the motor is still in the XJ how does one torque the adapter bolt? Just get it tight but not too tight? I know there will be no room for a torque wrench. Love these videos as always and I just voted.

@bigbill709 says:

I had a 98 xj the oil filter screwed right to the engine block no adapter to leak I believe the engine had been swapped from and early model zj .

@raystevens687 says:

So use universal joint with an extension and I think you could get it off.

@Mike-108_v_ says:

I was having issues with that oil filter elbow…UNTIL….a light bulb lit in my brain…. yep, had a 23 inch flat bar 3/8" serpentine belt wrench….just got a 60 torx socket…easy peasy….and let me tell you…I still had to put some elbow grease on the b*tch. $2.00 gasket fixed.

How about "Twix" for a name….that valve cover gasket is a Twix.
