It doesn't matter of course if you have to mangle the filter up to get it off. I have used pipe wrenches, pump pliers, strap wrenches, and in some extreme cases I have jabbed a long screwdriver right through. Leave yourself some room to turn it. Once you move it a little it should break free. After you get it off make sure that the casting is completely clean ie, there is no old gasket left remaining so when you put the new on on it will seal. Be careful not to cut yourself on the sharp edges and it may get messy with oil dripping out. This happens when the filter isn't changed for a LONG time.

Also tried oil wrench also in case anyone wondering, just crushes it on the end, can't get it close enough to base. > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Get better spam protection with Yahoo!
