[QUOTE="SwollenRaccoon, post: 1448096, member: 19178"] Channel locks or pipe wrench. I have tried the screwdriver through the filter thing, and turned the screwdriver, only to tear the metal filter in half. Just make sure the pipe wrench or channel locks are near the filter base. You need to be careful to not gouge up the motor castings, and you will only be able to turn it a couple of degrees at a time, but it will eventually turn enough to twist it off. Good luck. And, yup, hand-tight works just fine when you put your new filter on. [/QUOTE]
