Ahh! So true Sharpie, but, if you put a small rubber O ring under the nut then nip it up tight with your fingers Hey presto the little blighter stays in place especially if you make the O ring moist with a little oil.
But have to agree the cup type oil filter remover are the best I have used, 1/2" socket extension bar fits nicely between the headers.
I have bought and tried strap, chain, C jawed pliers types, I have even reverted to driving a massive great pound through screwdriver right through the filter and used the screwdriver as a tommy bar to remove filters on different vehicle in the past (last method = last resort) but that is messy and should you find that the idiot down at the Motorfactors has given you the wrong filter you focc-d your not going anywhere in or on you steed.
