Answer 1

You are going to throw it out so it doesn't matter if you damage it.

Some people will punch a s***w driver straight through it and turn it that way. Other people use a chisel and hammer to get it to turn.

Good Luck...

Answer 2

stab a long screwdriver through it and use the screwdriver to turn it. It's messy but works... usually

Answer 3

spray the filter (at the flange) wit some pb buster or liquid wrench  and try  removing    if thats not working (please be careful when doing this) stab the filter with a large screwdiver and remove the filter

Answer 4

i use a oil filter cap and it comes right off with a little push.

Answer 5

take an old fan belt and put a twist loop in it........... slip it over filter  now pull on the end that is over the loop and pull ..... it should spin loose

Answer 6

Take a flat blade s***w driver and place it on the bottom lip of the filter. tap it with a hammer counter clockwise. If that don't do it, punch a hole in the side close to the bottom and pry counter clockwise.

Answer 7

drain all the oil the stick hammer a s***w drive through the filter all the way through out the other side and brake that mug loose. remember righty tighty lefty loosy

Answer 8

that happened to my car. i went to a ford dealer with my honda for an oil change then honda couldn't easily remove the filter the ford dealer put on.  they used a small hammer and banged the side edge down to loosen it.

Answer 9

the old screwdriver through the oil filter trick, never fails.

Answer 10

a large pair of channel lock pliers will also remove it,i usually just drive a screwdriver through the whole thing and turn it that way,it makes a big mess but it has to come off,its easier if you can use a grip tight oil filter wrench on it those will bring it right off,good luck.
