When I did the bike service the last thing that remained was to do an oil change. So the last service agent has clearly over tightened the filter or failed to apply grease or oil as part of the seal.
Before I totally go and burr or misshape the filter using the filter wrench, what have you done to overcome this. The oil filter is recessed and very little opportunity to do much.
I could drill 4 holes in the head of the oil filter wrench and try and put some self tapping screws in to secure it, there doesn't seem to be any space or very little access on the side to get a screws in.
Thoughts?
