To each their own, but if you can't us the hammer on and around your scoot, you probably shouldn't be working on it. A hammer is a precision tool and besides, the wall on the filter is not very thick. Your call though man, good luck.

If you decide to go the BFH route, be aware that you are going to hose your front motormount down with oil. I use the same wrench that I use on my car for my bike. I also went out and spent $4.00 on thin flexible cutting boards that will make 6 drip guards to protect that same motormount from oil. They will last for years. Just cut to size and slip under the filter before you loosen it and no oil on you motor.
