[TR] Stubborn Oil filter

[glemon at neb.rr.com]

I have used the screwdriver through the filter method many times, and it has often left me a little dirty, but never let me down, don't go too close to the base of the filter, you don't want to hit the threads where it attaches.

One way or another it will come of looking like a squished tin can and you will ooze confidence as you tell us all how you did it !!
