Oil Filter Removal
My 2019 Low Rider is overdue for an oil and filter change (the dealer lied about the last change) - but it seems like the filter is welded in place. Any advice on how to remove it? Do I have to remove the oil cooler in the front of the frame to access the filter? I can't buy a fluted filter tool anywhere locally, and even then I doubt whether it would budge the filter. Thanks for any suggestions.

Did you resolve?
1) Yes, strap wrench.
2) Await a "flute" socket delivery.
3) Old school, if accessible, drive/ hammer a screwdriver all the way through the filter's can (top and bottom), and twist to loosen... so to say.
4) Giant channel lock pliers, which will reform the can.
Good luck.

They got some super cheap ones with the CPK cut out, on amazon, and I am sure they are fine. I got a nice one I bought years ago, and never had an issue
I would not screw around with an adjustable of any kind
TC filter also fits mobile 1 filters for GMC trucks, but not wix.
