Can't get oil filter off
Anybody else have trouble getting the oil filter off? I even went out and bought the oil filter wrench with the hole cut in it but there is a sensor or something in front of the filter and I can't get the wrench on. I guess I will just have to take the ?sensor? off.

A strap wrench might give you enough leverage just to get it going. They are cheap enough and if you get a thin one you will not have to remove the sensor. However I am curious about the filter wrench. The one i have has a hole that sort of fits around the sensor and you can get on with the sensor in place. You cannot turn it much without the sensor and hole edges coming into contact but usually the amount you can turn is enough to free up the filter so that it can be removed by hand although sometimes I do have to reposition the wrench and move it a little more

Yep. I have had to do the same on bike and cars. Sometimes you have to make a handle...ie...screwdriver througsh the middle. It can be messy, but it works. Just make sure when you put the new one on it hand tight with a little oil on the seal
