Note at Bottom: About the metal spring arm that's right in front of us all: It looks unusual, but it is in no way intended as a deterrent. Unless it's been altered; by design, it only puts enough pressure to prevent a loose filter from spinning off while driving. Toyota does not recommend adjusting or altering the spring arm for filter removal & they certainly don't recommend removing it & neither do I.
I have seen vehicles with the spring arm missing. You could remove it completely & it would not help in the removal of an over-torqued filter like the one in the video. While using the correct tool, this video clearly shows the spring arm easily allowing filter removal at 2:32 & several times later in the video without breaking or interfering with removal. At 2:40, the spring arm is still clearly as good as new & even allows me to finish removal by hand. I hope this note saves time for any viewers considering needlessly removing or bending the spring-arm. Thanks for watching and for sharing.
