Where I can get a wrench to open up the housing? It was not included neither with filter , nor housing.

If you have wonky arthritic hands like I do, you can use a strap wrench (like this http://www.amazon.com/BOA-BO13010-Constrictor-Aluminum-Wrench/dp/B0011E4QU4) to open up the housing. They're useful gadgets to have around anyway for jars and tough knobs like outside water faucets. The Vaseline application does help but the diameter of the housing is just too big for me to get a decent grab on it with any strength. (I have the freestanding model.)

The next time you get it off, and before resealing it, you should always use a little bit of Vaseline to lube the threads of the housing. If you do that, the next time you remove it, it will be much easier. A tiny amount of Vaseline also helps seat the O-ring properly. Vinegar and a warm water soak is also recommended for your first removal. I have not tried that, but it is in the instructions and makes a lot of sense.

There is not a wrench that comes with the housing. I have found that simply running hot water over the housing can help free it up. Be sure too that in the future you do not over tighten the housing. It also helps to use petroleum jelly as they suggest. It can be hard to open at times, but be patient using the hot water. I did use a wide mouth pliers on a shower head from them one time. I think I over tightened previously. Light tapping could help, but light is key since it is plastic. Hope that helps.

The filter housing I have (they may differ) is like a little tower that stands by the sink with a spout coming out of it. I disconnect the hoses, turn it upside down. Then it's like opening a large jar, but with an easier grip. The previous comment described using vinegar-water to loosen sediment and (brilliant!) an oil-filter wrench to take it off. But I've never needed either. It twists off just like a jar lid.

Try this site. I don't know which wrench fits the best. Try asking their respective manufacturers. Perhaps ask them the dimension of their own filters to narrow the choices or the radius of their wrench. Remember, you'll want your wrench radius to go only 1/3 to 1/2 down from the top of the housing to avoid interference from the spout. http://www.best-deal.com/search/landing/query/filter+wrenches/s/yahoo/?ef_id=U4OkHQAAAAPA5pbz:20140608033118:s

To my knowledge, there is no wrench made specifically for opening the housing. Try soaking the housing in warm water mixed with a little white vinegar; ensuring the joint is submerged. Failing that (which has always worked for me) you might try using an adjustable oil filter wrench.

Sorry, I don't know where you can replace that. My problem was with the rubber switch which eventually fell inside the housing and when I tried to remove the lens cap, it ended up breaking as it is apparently not removable. One down, one to go.

I used an open end wrench. You can also use a dedicated Oxygen Sensor wrench if you like.

my housing is different than the picture, it's split right in the middle instead of towards the top, but there's no trick to opening it, sometimes it's just harder than others, be sure and put some vaseline on the rubber washer when you reassemble

I believe you can get them directly from Astro pneumatic tool company. Do you have the manual that came with it originally? If so it has the breakdown of parts listed in the manual. If need be I can look through my papers, find the manual, give you the part number and where to contact to get them if you want me to.

Go to amazon.com and it is all listed there.BTW This is a great product but try to get a spare gasket if possible. (I have not found a source yet.)

My best answer for you is check YouTube, most likely there is an instructional video showing all parts and tools needed.

Line up the valve openings on the wall mount with the filter wings. Gentle push up with a turn of the filter body. This should seat and engage the new filter. It does not screw in. Just a firm push and turn. Hope this helps.

This wrench is used to open the "housing" to access the filter. Although many of these filters can be used interchangeably between housing brands, the wrench must match the brand of the "housing". For example: I can use GE Filters and Culligan Filters with my Culligan "housing", but I need the culligan wrench to open my culligan filter housing. You must determine which brand housing you have. You could use a simple "automoble oil filter type wrench" that consists of an adjustable strap that wraps around the housing. This solution would not depend on the brand you have since it does not rely on fitting into the notches of the housing to work. Each brand's notches are different. I hope this makes sense.

No, I had to buy the metal bracket additionally. Note: The bracket is not overly substantial. I have one of these filters before. Unscrewing the lower part of the housing to replace the filter element can require a surprising amount of force. I put petroleum jelly on the o-ring to help ease the situation.

A repair kit came with it. If you don't have it I'm sure the company will send you one.

I honestly don't know, what I did with mine is the filter part fit in my old handle so I didn't bother with the new one. I only wanted the filter part. Sorry if this doesn't help.

A wrench and hex wrench. Might be included. I don't recall. Was pretty easy.

Have you rechecked the "in" & "out" ports, or is there a packing plug? I'd remove the filter again, and blow thru the ports to see if that is where the ressistance is- ie: the filter or the Moeller top assembly. Let me know, Jim

Assuming it's the same model, it's kind of tricky to visualize which way to turn the filter to remove it. It should have come with a weird, hoop wrench which you slide up the filter casing and then rotate to the left (lefty loosy). You can only really get enough torque if it's mounted in its bracket. Be sure to turn off the intake valve or the water main first and open up the filter spigot, in case this additional pressure seals the filter casing tighter. Hope the helps!

I just used normal tools like screwdriver tap hammer and pliers. It also required a small punch. Everything went in easily after I realized what the small aluminum spacer was for. Sorry for taking so long to reply. Hope this helps.

Have to return mine as well. There is "Standard housing" and "Dive housing" (with little screws in the front)This filter doesn't fit Standard housing
