This might be a big dumb question... but how do you get it off? i can't get my arms in to it from above or below?

Am i missing something very simple? (i hope so) :D

no its just a real cnut to get at mate, i changed mine twice then decided i was going for a relocation kit or selling the car! If its on super tight strip out what you can to get to it and try get it off from there, I still have scars on my left wrist where i took off the last filter

Absolute PITA :nod: You still have to get access from the top with some scars.

I normally unscrew on a cold engine till hand tight. Run the engine to temperature. Then undo the oil filter.
