Get a strap of rubber and fold it in half (make sure its more than long enough to go around the filter, then grap the remaining rubber with a set of pliers and turn. That probably doesn't make much sense so just go out and buy one, best thing for changing tight oil filtersLike thishttp://www.ebay.com....d#ht_3590wt_910Looks like Paulie just beat me too this lol Edited 31/07/12 12:22 AM by Bellato 1

Also read you could almost do it with a belt but shops were closed so I couldn't buy one. Will definitely invest in one for the next change!

Came in handy for my VR SS back in the day.How hard are you guys tightening your filters? I only tighten it with one hand and it always unscrews easy next oil change. You putting oil on the rubber ring before screwing it on?
