I have a faint memory, that pash once made a list of suitable devices. Maybe that's still present in the archive or take a look a the how-to section.

It should, although tight, come off by hand. If not you could, I know not a top line thing to do, use a screwdriver.

K&N filters have a hex head on top so you can use a spanner or socket.

Dont forget to fill the filter and oil the seal.

And, when you put the new one on, tighten it by hand...

Grip firmly at the base, think of England and twist.

Oh and then you can fit your new oil filter :lol:

Strap wrench works fine for me, on a extension bar. :bandit:

I got my socket type wrenches - Tuber and Fueller, from Halfords.
If the filter is on stupid tight, then drill a hole through the filter wrench and then stick a rod (6" nail etc) through the whole lot.
