Splendid.... Fuel filter next then! 

I would honestly rarther swallow my own tongue then go near another filter at the moment mate

I know that the whole episode was my own bloody fault and if I was to do it again it would be a simple and quick job..........but still...JESUS!!!!!!

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , despite what I said in my last post I decided to go and have one last go at getting the bugger off.

A hundred more swear word's and 50 more bang's to my hand and forearm later and the bloody thing is off.

I got a torx 45 socket and hammered it into one of the filter holes and then attached an extention bar which I used as a handle.
I also cut away some of the rubber seal with a stanley knife which helped a lot.

So my Oil change which started at about 11.00am yesterday finally got finished today at about 6.00pm

My car is now filled up with lovely new Mobil 2000 semi-symthetic.
I made sure I filled the new filter halfway up with the new oil and oiled the rubber trim before attaching as suggested by tunnie.

THIS IS WHAT MY OLD FILTER LOOKED LIKE ONCE FINALLY REMOVED
