Its simple... if you remove the injector cover first!

There are three holes, but only two 10mm nuts (left & centre holes), so just unscrew them and whip it off, then youll have plenty of room to work.

You may want to buy an oil filter removal tool too, which will help get it off as it might be on tight.

They may be 13mm nuts.

the injector cover will either be two 10m or two 13m nuts in the centre holes.you may need a oil filter tool as rich-d says because they can be really tight sometimes.remember to smear some oil on your new filter seal so it wont stick on next time.
