Abstract
A device for removing the filter medium from the spool of an oil filter, includes a spindle assembly having (1) a spindle which is shaped and dimensioned to receive the hole in the first end of the spool, (2) a plurality of bearings, and (3) a cutter. A holder/crank having a rotational rim is attached to the spool of the oil filter and locked in place. The holder/crank and spool are then installed in the spindle assembly so that the spindle engages the hole in the spool and rim engages the plurality of bearings. The holder/crank is then rotated as the cutter is brought to bear against the filter medium so that a circumferential cut is made through the filter medium.
