Mike;
I'm happy for your success...if you think access is tight on a B18/20, just be glad you didn't need to do this on a modern car with even less access! I have to say, the Filter in those pix looks pretty good compared to what some look like after I've had to use VF's technique of the through-lever and irresistible force...barely even recognizable as a Filter...more like an oily blob that lost a fight with a shredder...but I too prevailed! Remember...when installing replacement Filter: Assure old rubber gasket comes away with the old filter, oil the gasket of new Filter, and tighten a maximum of 1/4 turn after contact...1/8 is often plenty.
