[QUOTE="Old Guy, post: 1448148, member: 35438"] Like Ross, I just don't have have the grip strength anymore to trust "hand tight." I install the filter until the gasket just touches then tighten 3/4 turn. Sometimes I can manage that by hand, and other times I have to use a tool like a cap wrench I hate the cap wrench for removal, though because the filter gets stuck so tight in it I sometimes have to use a vice and big pliars to get it back out. I bought a tool like Jeep posted above for removal, and the harder you turn counterclockwise the harder it grips. It's worked well the few times I've used it. And it'll let go of the filter without resorting to violence :) [/QUOTE]
