Good afternoon everyone. Hey I went to change my oil for the first time this weekend and ran in to a little snag when attempting to remove the oil filter. I have a Turf Tiger with the 35 hp Vanguard with 9hrs on it. The oil filter is right there on the right side of the motor in plain view. However I wasn't able to get either of my automotive oil wrenches to fit. Even if they would fit the filter, you don't have any room to tighten it down and crank the handle. Is there a special tool to use to break the oil filter loose? I can't imagine anything with a handle being able to get in there. I just went ahead and changed the oil this time, but I do want to remove the filter next time though. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

How about a pair of oil filter pliers, I use a pair that are like these and they work great.
