to remove it you need this tool which has this chain onit, can pick 1 up from Halfords for a few quid,

looks like this:

I used a large screwdriver, cheaper...

Remove fuel rail protector and youl have oodles of room 2 x 10mm deep socket

Screwdriver is the pikey method, get a chain wrench.

Screwdriver is the pikey method.

And stupid you cna get metal in the engine which is exactly what the filter is there to stop.

I cannot see how you would get one off with a screwdriver? Halfords sell one for about £5 that you stick on a 1/2inch drive, wrap the chain around the filter turn the socket anti clockwise and the filter loosens off.

top tip: get a load of tissues under the filter before you remove it. it will leak a bit of oil as you remove it.

You shouldnt need anything apart from your hands to unscrew the filter. When you put the new one in just tighten it by hand.

quite simple really put a screwdriver on a ridge and push down, done it many of times before. dont have to pierce it or anything just dints it in a little. Bit extreme saying itl get metal in the engine dont know how it would cause that. Still got the extra tenner to spend to lool
