I'm replacing an oil filter on a 1.4 Energy engine and some monkey tightened it so hard I could not undo it with 1m cheater pipe!
So I used a screw driver to punch some holes in it and then used cheater pipe on that and it slowly let loose. Problem is that I damaged the thread on that insert with the screw driver.
I have a spare 1.7 engine with a perfect thread insert, but I don't know how to take it out without making it useless.
Are all Renault blocks the same and this insert is screwed in or is it pressed in?
Any tips how to unscrew it from the block?
Please help!
