I think that would make an entertaining video on YouTube.
I would not do this, but I do thank you for expanding our list of tool/techniques as we dwell in the "what if" of BITOG nirvana.

why? I know some filters don't have them, but were you having restriction problems?
How in gods name did you do that???
boxcartommie22, you've stated some seriously outlandish things before in the oil filter section. I can't tell if you're a troll, or just off the reservation.

The only conceivable way to remove the ADBV from an oil filter would be to cut it open or rip the thing to shreds with needle nose pliers, guaranteeing bits of rubber/silicone inside the filter.
What am I missing here?

I have the same questions: if the filter sits sideways you NEED the ADBV - and... how the monkey are you removing it?!?!??!? is this a joke?

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking...

this is a trick question right?
Surely he's kidding?

I think compressing the module towards the bottom (through the center well, perhaps) would allow you to push the thing off center enough to grip it with needle nose pliers.
Like I said, it would make an entertaining video.
Like the Joker said, "Never rub another man's rhubarb".

From all the filter designs I've seen, the only way to remove the ADBV would be to tear it up and through the holes in the filter's base. Some WIX/NAPA Gold filters have pretty large base holes. There is no way to get it to the center hole in the filter, as it is all sealed and closed up between the center core and base of the filter.
Pics or ban.
adbv leak anyways..i let my car sit for 4 days and removed the filter. there was still alot oil left in the filter and alot flowed out when i removed it..i simply took a blade and cut around the valve no mess and just pulled the valve out..i stopped using the stainless steel mesh fiters because i found out the bypass valve was set at 2 psi!!! so i decided to try to open up the 820 a bit more..seemed to me it would take alot to push the oil pass that valve let alone the media...i new you all would get a kick out of this.no noise on startups without valve.some noise with valve..as you all know i love to experiment!!

This actually means the ADBV was doing what it was designed to do!
