I have a sort of strap wrench with a metal flexible dimpled & adjustable band- I think that it is an older tool but should be worth looking out for if interested.
Used on the 240 & early V70 and both have restricted access but it works with small initial movements- a piece of cloth sanding paper under the band can also help with the grip. Trust it helps. Bob. |

I wonder if it makes a difference whether the engine is hot or cold? I've got a late B20 RHD Amazon with twin down-pipes but I've not had this problem (touches wood rapidy!). I've always removed the oil filter with the engine warm. (I've got an old pair of leather gardening gloves that would protect my fingers from the hot exhaust if I ever remembered to wear them!) I also fit the new filter almost immediately, while the engine is still warm.
Just thinking out-loud, the seal is made by an O-ring. Would there be any harm in periodically (every few months?) loosening and retightening the filter? Not so much that any oil leaks out; just a fraction of a turn; enough to know it's not seized and keep it that way. Might it be worth considering the thread? I know it's a large diameter filter on a small diameter thread, so there should be plenty of torque on it but... The thread on my fitting always looks undamaged. Is this always the case or is there the potential for a previous owner/workshop to have crossed the thread? The thread also looks very clean - no dirt, grime or debris. Lastly, the thread is always covered in a light film of oil when I've removed the filter, and I don't wipe this off before screwing the new filter on. |

Maybe the issue is proximity to the exhaust?
The tool in my link was about a fiver. Povided you ensure it's gripping evenly around the filter, it turns easily. Another advantage is that, using a short extension, the ratchet is in just the right place for you to get a good grip. |

Hi
these work best for me. This one with articulated jaws is better than the cheaper fixed arms. Search Oil filter removal tool pliers! Phil |

Hi All,
I’ve got twin carbs and a 4-2-1 exhaust on my amazon and use a chain wrench.It can take a couple of goes to get a nice grip, but it hasn’t failed me yet. Regards, Tom |

One of these has done the job when needed. Several styles.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amtech-J110...959870&sr=8-36 Oil the seal, clean the block face and wind filter on by hand only. It will be a bit tighter to get off but with a bit of effort it will come off by hand too. If you are worried about burning yourself, I have scars too, loosen it when cold, snug it up and then warm up the engine for a few minutes before the oil change. |
