Maybe I'm just better with spanners  ::)  ::)

Looks like we gotta ourselves a volunteer...  ;D

But I never got to the stage of needing to hold the body  ;) ;) ...... I managed to undo the cap ( & I admit to never using a torque wrench  ::))

I'll settle for you undoing the cap... I'll devise some means of preventing the body rotating *giggity*  :y

I believe the tool of choice is a strap type filter remover  :-\

I do have one, but I suspect it would mash a hole in the side of the can long before enough force was excerted to prevent rotation.  (Ignoring the fact I don't have enough hands/strength to turn both in opposite directions at once :( )

Well, all's well that ends well.  Spent some more hard earned cheese on a proper chain wrench instead of the nasty draper "can-opener" one I previously owned as well as an 18" breaker bar torque wrench (it was cheaper) and attacked it whilst it was still warm/hot and it decided discretion was the better part of valour  ;)

Oil filter was manufacture dated 03.2010 and the oil was like 15w40 soy sauce ::)
