its taken me 3 days to remove my oil filter from my volvo 440 engine, not in a difficult place to get to, but the foll that put it on (a so called m8) didnt put oil on the seal and did it up soooo friggin tight, ive bought 3 tools to romove this filter not 1 could do it propperly, snapped 3 screwdrivers and bent 2 others, cut my hands to sh*t and this is what the filter looked like when i eventually won the battle !

lol i did my mates one and it took me half hour to get it off and it took us three days to put the new one on!!

turns out the bloke in the shop gave us the wrong new one, but the new one had been hit with a hammer from below + was full with oil so we gave it back in the box, got our refund n run!!!
