I have returned car to sister until the tool arrives. I failed today to shift the filter with a tool with a loop of strong fabric.
I was tempted to attack the filter by attempting to shift it with a chisel on the engine end of the filter. seemed worth a try. Is this a good idea?

I don't think I'd use a chisel,to much scope to cause harm

Thanks to all for advice. Three clawed tool arived today, but it did not shift the filter. So I resorted to the screwdriver. I had to put it through three times, turning it 20 degrees each time, before it would turn by hand. It is now tightened hand tight so next time it should be easy. Thanks. Al.
