for the life of me I can’t seem to unscrew my oil filter.
What can I do before I resort to a hammer and screwdriver and possibly foc it for good.
-
I always use a cup wrench and have never had a problem. This has an internal profile that fits the flats on the filter. The front surface has a bolt profile to be turned by a spanner or socket. Cost around the 7 quid mark.

Beat me to it robbo.
Yeah filter socket is the answer, or chain wrench,
-
See you're in Croydon Kenbob. If you're stuck, pm me and I'll lend you mine.
-
Outstanding Robbo, will pm you my details.
-
A must have tool :D
-
I bought from halfrauds a pair of oil filter pliers, thought these would do the job, but no.
I guess they would be ok if the filter wasn’t so tightly on, lord knows when the filter was replaced.
-
Just check, there are 2 filter socket sizes with different flats. I've had to get both.
-
Pm me your number.
-
Pm sent.
65mm is filter size

A massive massive thank you to robbo who came round and sorted the problem, much appreciated and I now know what I need for future oil filter changes.
-
No worries Ken, glad you're all sorted. :thumbup
