First poke a hole in the bottom of the filter on the outside edge and let it drain into a container. Now it won't be as messy. Then get a long Phillips screwdriver and a hammer and knock it through both sides of the filter and give it a turn. The Philips screwdriver will easily penetrate the filter without having to mess up a good screwdriver.

Did they send you that socket and strap thing that you have?
Just curious....

So this morning I bought a cheap oil filter wrench (fram cup type) at wally world, took it home and with a cutoff wheel took a section off to clear the sensor up front. What a POS !!! didn't even think about working. All it did was slip. So what's the best one out there that actually works?
Make a small hole at bottom of filter with a punch in order to drain filter of oil.
Drill a hole on the face of cup you modified at the 9 oclock and 3 oclock position.
Place cup on filter and punch a hole at those positions, into the filter.
Place a screw through cup and into filter at each hole.
The screws will hold cup and filter together and prevent slip.
Retry.

I have the K&P wrench that comes with the filter, just won't use it. Got the strap wrench from JP Cycles, a while back, for a filter I couldn't get off my Rocker C, but I'll use it on the K&P if needed, when I take it off to clean it, so I don't scratch it. Works well in tight spots on my cars and ATV also.
