cold chisel and hammer, dont hit too hard though or you could bend the housing.

Just work away at several points around the rim of it.

thats how i got mine off after the engine rebuild, dude must have put it on with a shifter or something.

Go get a can of spinach and harden up you sook :D

Failing that, as a last resort, and you wanna make sure it works :lol: , get a LONG screwdriver, drive it through the middle of the filter, and then use the screwdriver as leverage and twist.

Yeah they can be a pain to a pain to get off, I had to spear it with a screwdriver to get mine off as well.

Yep, works well if needed... I did it to an oil filter once too :D

Just hope you can get it off once there's a hole in it :rofl:

What kind of filter tool are you using? Strap or metal one? A filter strap with a 1/2" ratchet should do it no problems, and if it slips you need to be tighterererer.

If you dont mind f'ing the filter hammer a screwdriver into side and turn. without knowing what filter it is. Had to do this to an oil filter that some dingbat did up to tight.

This is what I did to get mine off! It was on that tight that when I had pierced it with the screw driver and was unwinding it, it was tearing the filter and not turning. Luckily it finally budged and I was able to remove it.
