Oil filter removal.

Oil filter removal. was created by Roger Fairclough

Just completed a 12 month service on my Gen.4 and had a problem removing the oil filter. Due to the close proximity of the filter to the sump, my chain wrench could only grip the filter at the end furthest from the seal. The filter was unusually tight - probably no lube on the seal - and although I got it off, the end was mangled. I have been looking at alternatives and Toolstation sell a strap wrench which will get into the restricted space without any problems.
My question is, has anyone got a suggestion based on experience?

Cheers

Roger

On the m series the filter is obscured by the exhaust manifold so I bought a set of cup wrenches that engage with the flats on the filter and are driven by a half inch square. They are great.

I use the 3-claw self-tightening type (Sykes-Pickavant).

When access is awkward I find this style of filter pliers usually gets the job done.
