well, if you can get the strap type wrench on there i'm sure that'll get it off

 

Yeah i had to use the strap type wrench for mine aswell.
I also had a huge problem with my drain plug.

 

I'm with dupid.

 

vice grip!

 

Try a rag inside the cup wrench, if that doesn't work, use the strap wrench.

or big channel locks.
Why do you not want to use the screwdriver method?
Filter is going in the garbage anyways.....

 

Stick a screwdriver into the side of it, then use it as a lever arm. FYI, Make sure you have a replacement filter ahead of time. Its not a big deal at all

 

Channel lock pliers are what I have used in the past.

 

i just stuck a screwdriver in it. messy but gets it done.

 

belt... preferrably an expensive one so that you ruin it and then kick urself in the balls and have to go buy another one because that didnt work and you resorted to vice grips/screw driver/300lb neighbor/telling ur friend never to bring his horseshit bike over again for an oil change. :hyper

^ Ur dead to me!!!!!

Just listen to you ridiot friends tell you to puncture it with a screwdriver and twist..... Then go by Channel locks and mash the filter down til you can turn it... lastly replace oil filter with new one and tighten just past hand tightening..

just use the screwdriver method and be done with it.

 

you can also put some masking tape on the inside of the filter wrench to tighting up the size. kinda like the rag idea mentioned above

I'm with Thrak......or use a large screwdrive, puncture a hole in the oil filter and twist using the screwdriver for leverage.

lol we did that... all it did was sheer the filter in half :thumbup

lol tad... i was doing the oil on my bike the other day and all i could think about while i was taking my filter off was how shitty that night was, and how bad i wanted to prison sex <insert girls name here> in response to my anger...

 

Take a (dont remember what its called but its shaped like a circle and has a screw that you tighten and the circle gets smaller, usually used to install aftermarket intake systems) and screw it around the filter really tight. Hit the screw with a hammer until the filter loosens up.

 

^^Karonic, that's a hose clamp Good idea, never thought of that...^^

Stuffing a rag in the filter socket does the trick for me. But the filter usually gets stuck in the socket after I get it off. So I put it in the vise, and take a piece of aluminum and butt it right up against the end of the socket on the side of the old filter and lightly hit it with a mallet in a few places to distort it, then it comes out of the socket. Other than that, large channel loocks work ok too, but they are all but impossible to get in place on the 06. a bit messy, but it works.

 

screwdriver worked well for me
