4 hours, One stumped toe, Three fucked up knuckles, One trip to advance auto parts for a filter wrench, and a massively disfigured filter later.....and this SOB still doesn't want to come off.

Stab a hole in it with a screwdriver and use the leverage of that to start spinning it. Ive had to do this on my bike once and the mustang a couple times.

Don't use the normal strap-type filter wrench. Use on of the 'import filter' wrenches. It has two curved pieces of metal that grab around the oil filter and a square hole in the end where you can insert a 3/8" ratchet. As you apply torque, the curved pieces tighten.
edit: like this ![]() In the future, buy a K&N oil filter, they have a 17mm nut welded on the end of them so you can tighten and loosen it with a socket. And that nut is pre-drilled for safety wire.

I'm sorry, god is busy helping football players win football games, basketball players win basketball games, baseball players win baseball games and hockey players win hockey games. Please leave a message and I'm sure he'll get back to you when there aren't any sports going on

Get a pair of these,filter pliers,and make fucking sure you put oil on the threads and "O" ring of the new filter!!! Oh and grab the filter at the base.

In the future don't put it on so tight and safety wire it. Also the channel locks near the base work well. To safety wire the filter put a large hose clamp on it and then wire the hose clamp to something solid. Or get the K&N filters they have a nut with a hole in it already but I like OEM filters.
