The screw driver/ hammer didnt work for me, just twisted the hell out of the filter.
so i beat on it a little and out came the channel locks........
it really is a PITA w/ the pacesetters when it does that.

K&N going on this time - like I usually always run, but damn they are expensive..

Oh well near 4500 or more miles in around 10 days, figure might aswell

My in-house mechanic prefers jack stands. Used to have to drive it up on a couple of 2x4's, but got a different jack (aluminum) that rolls under the car okay (just barely, though).
