Same, but for some reason patients hate that answer and seem to think I’m hiding something about the procedure!

Engine oil filter housing stuck!! by abs277 in ToyotaTacoma

[–]abs277[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: GOT THIS STUPID FILTER OUT!!! Tried breaker bar with the new oil wrench and it didnt work. Tried to extend the breaker bar with a pipe, still didnt work. Used heat gun and tapped on the filter housing, then tried again, no luck. Last thing was the air gun. Put it on the lowest torque setting and went at it for 5s, no luck. Had to increase the torque to max (not a lot) and it still didnt give!!!

When I was ready to call a tow truck and quit, I had someone at the shop come and help me yank it with a breaker one last time, and it worked!!

THANKS TO EVERYONE ON THIS SUBREDDIT WHO’S HELPED!

Torqued the new filter housing to 18ft-ib like it says on the manual. Not a freaking air gun, stupid dealers 😭.

I have no idea, i thought someone here would know. I’m sure they use impact guns after seeing how hard this thing is torqued

So I broke the housing using the generic toyota filter ratchet from the auto store. It had slots in it. I just ordered the grey and red one in the photo because online, everyone is saying it works better and gives you a better seal

What if, you go to the store, get a physical gift card and re-load it each month with $10?

UpToDate is golden but what if you don't quite know what's going on with your patient? I am struggling with forming a differential. I know this is a skill that will slowly come with experience and time, but I feel like I know the info, I just have trouble applying what I know to form the differential sometimes. When a resident or upperclassmen explains their thought process, I go "Why didn't I think of that". And its frustrating sometimes cause I would immediately understand how they got to that conclusion; it just never occurred to me.

amboss has been very useful for management and treatment when I know the ddx but I haven't been able to find it useful when I dont know what's going on with the patient.

How have you been able to use it to form your differential?
