[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1039549, member: 74901"] Over the years, had a couple of occasions when an oil filter was stubborn & wouldn't come off, having to resort to the "screw driver thru the casing" method or completely cutting it off with TinSnips. Tried several styles of removal tools with varying success, but found the modified cheap strap wrench pictured below works best for me on stubborn filters in tight spaces. For my personal vehicles, using K&N oil filters with the EasyOff hex nut for several years now; choosing the K&N with the largest volume of all of their models that will fit in the available space with the same SpinOnThread size as the Ford spec filter; K&Ns have slightly higher FlowGPM & slightly lower ByPassPSI ratings compared to Ford filters.
