How do you remove your oil filter?
Just wondering what ways people remove there oil filters. Mine always seem stubborn and stuck on, most of the time I have to use force to remove filter.
When ever I watch videos of others doing it. They always seem to remove them with ease just one hand.
I always run oil around the rubber on the new filters and tighten by hand?

Mine always comes off with ease by hand but I make sure not to over tighten when fitting.

Usually use a big set of slip joint pliers, inherited a set of MAC ones from my Dad when he passed away, not really the correct tool for the job but they come in really handy for things like this and pushing pistons back into brake calipers.

I had one but sold it on here. It's it just for blue filters though? As I always buy black filters?

I also just go for the k&n filters with the hex on the end ...... dont know why all filters dont have them?????
Getting an old one off never seems a problem as 5 bar grips can squish it a bit, but getting the new one on is a reverse of the same problem without the oppurtunity to abuse it into submission.
