Tell me about it in the worst place possible,
your best off using a chain oil filter remover, or just ram a screw driver through it then use that to turn it

Mate this car has taken long enough already without more toys to delay me

I'll get one of those tools, looks like it cant be removed without damaging the filter done zero miles on it and need to fit a sandwich plate for the Stack's temp and pressure senders.. I have some spare filters thou

JHS you get my postage refund?

A much cheaper way is a JUBILEE CLIP!!
Tighten on then just tap round with small hammer, or you can wrap,a piece of emery cloth in your hand to grip it and turn it.

Hmmm if a nice 909 mag remote came my way I'd probably do it

I seriously get a least two emails/pm a month asking me to sell my mags
