If the filter is off it shouldn't be hard if you are talking about the one behind it next to the bell housing. If you mean the one above the K-member I suggest a ratcheting 10mm wrench and some patience.

Thanks Zach, I'll try that before going to home depot. I changed the filter yesterday guess I should have looked alittle harder for that 10th bolt.
