Just come up with a good idea for changing filters.
And yes its probably been on here before but I havent seen it ,so there.
When changing a filter,grab 4 old jubilee clips,maybe 3 or 5 depending on their size ,open them up completely and flatten with a hammer or suchlike,fasten together end to end(male to female for the mechanically challenged).Wrap them round the new filter and join last two ends,take up the slack and install filter,the next time you remove the filter it should be easily removable with the minimum amount of force,(i.e. no need for filter wrench).That bit of tubing under the oil filter housing I replaced with a longer bit so it fits in a pop bottle or similiar and hence no drips on drive.
Good idea eh what!!
