i have a 1100 filter tool and will be passing Kildare tomorrow if ya want.
Email me [email protected] if ya want it. Alternative is to put a 2ft 2"x 1" up to the filter and tap two nails through the timber into the filter, use it like a spanner, worked for me when I was stuck.

the Daithi method is also known as "the Road of now Return" so make feckin sure you have the right filter.

oil filter replacement - boxer engine

Hi. motorworks.co.uk sell the tool for removing the oil filter, less than 8 quid sterling though not sure of the postage, the boxer engine is relatively straightforward and can definitely be looked after from home, with dealer prices for servicing it is definitely worth the small investment to buy the tool, first oil change and it will pay for itself! cheers, John
