Ah... that kind of shows the problem doesnt it...
Im pretty sure those are non-standard pipes (for one, they are Stainless Steel). Mine allow pretty easy access to the oil filter from the sides so I can use a strap wrench easy enough. Even then there is enough room between the two centre pipes to get an extension bar in.
You may have no choice but to remove the pipes. Its not a terribly hard job, just need to be careful with the studs that hold them to the block. Spray some penetrating fluid on them for a couple of days (which sucks because you have to wait *sighs*) then try to remove them. If they give you too much trouble then wait for someone else to come up with a clever solution :lol
