First time replacing oil filter and oil.
I've drained the old oil from the oil tank and I now want to remove the existing filter.
For the life of me, it seems as though the filter is in the most awkward position ever; behind and under the engine block. I can't reach it from the bonnet, and I can't reach it comfortably from under the car having removed one of the wheels (right wheel).
To make matters worse, the existing filter is in very tight. So any time I get a grip on the filter (can only physically get one hand on it), I can't loosen it.
I have an oil filter clamp for removing an oil filter using a ratchet socket; but I can't get it working with only one hand.
It would seem that I need to get a screw driver into it from under the car, but, I need to use a very long screw driver which is almost impossible to hammer into the filter whilst I'm under the car.
Any suggestions?
