Lower rim surely, if a screw driver driven through the body won't shift it ****ting the top edge wont either.

the rim then ,yes it does work even when 3 jawed clamp has bent and twisted filter up as your knocking against the only solid part of filter ,you need to try harder

Will try adn find a longer screw driver, by chisel top edge round, do you mean stick a chisel in it and hammer it round to try and tempt it around, surely thatll just push through the casing in a ripping motion?

Balls Na, im fairly sure so, i did try it both ways just to be on the safe side.. :boxing:

But its such a bitch to get any sort of good contact on..

Punch the screwdriver right through it from the front of the landy and then push the screwdriver towards the drivers side wheel

top edge /rim is rolled over the filter top its the most solid part

Need to try harder at what cock bod?? To do what you suggest you need to use a blunt instrument, not a chisel like thing. And yes, I've come across a few difficult oil filters in my time, I don't kneed to try harder.

and cheers james, will go out and have a look in a bit.

Is it bollocks as like, the filter top is no more stronger than the wall.

Next time try warming the engine first. Be sure to remove the rubber seal, it will be stuck up in the groove. Hope I am not telling you how to suck eggs though. Good luck.
