Oil Filter Problem....help needed. As simple as it is, for some reason I cant get my oil filter off to save my life. I havent ran my car in months due to a blown head gasket and, now that I've got everything put back together, the only thing stoping me from starting my car its the stuck oil filter. I have long tubes and dont have much rrom for the tool, so all it is doing is denting the filter. Anyone know any other ways to get it off?

I love the socket type much better than the strap ones.

Yeah, I am the only one who changes my oil in any of my cars. I have like 2 straps, that are just sittin in the bottom of the tool box. Adn yeah the screwdriver is good for the rusted on ones that you just can't get off any other way.
