Ok, so my bike is due for an oil change and am having incredible issues with the filter. Ive ridden whenever its above 20 but since its in the singles so my bike hasnt just been sitting more than a week at a time. Finally got the oil filter i ordered and went and got oil today from AAP. Draining the oil went smoothly but when i going to use my oil filter strap wrench, the filter was covered in a thick, black grease. Tried to put sand paper for better grip even after soaping and washing the filter... Wouldn't come off... Plus due to clearance issues, i wasn't able to get enough strength on the filter anyway... Hour and a half later, ive tried many options without damaging the filter and nothing is working... Finally decided to put a screw driver through the filter suggestion and i ended up making the hole bigger in the filter and bending my screw driver meanwhile the filter has yet to budge... :banghead:
Any suggestions? And before anyone rants to use the search feature, there are many suggestions but none of them further explain after the screw driver trick doesn't work. Any suggestions are really greatly appreciated!!
