[Guest]

Whack a screwdriver through and turn it with that!

Whack a screwdriver through and turn it with that!

Makes it messy!!

 

[Guest]

Not that messy if the oils already been drained!

 

[Guest]

i duno, ive heard that if there done up REALLY tight, ur screwdriver just goes round it like a tin opener.

 

[Guest]

some massive mole grips then!

 

[Guest]

Why do people do them up murder tight?

 

[Guest]

Think its a case of them tightening up with filter wrenches! Silly fuckers.

8mm square plug

If its really hard to remove filter then put the filter removing tool on it and just stab screw driver in the end and use them both

 

[Guest]

All done!
thanks for the help everyone,

I ended up stabbing it with a screw driver, worked a treat.
