I had to use an oil filter wrench - thay make them in the small size.
I’ve used other types of strap in a pinch. :thup:

Just make sure you use the strap based wrench or a huge pair of channel-locks on the bottom edge. You don't want to end up denting or warping the filter housing. They don't need to be excessively tight when reinstalled.
