I suggest you try stores like 'Kapodistrias' in all towns. They are bound to have this tool in stock. If you like I can check the one in Paphos for you tomorrow morning.

Could you...?

I can zoom over (within the speed limit obviously) on my motorbike and pick it up if they have it...

It is annoying when such a simple job turns into a nightmare like this - I had to get a bloody taxi to a restaurant and back on Friday!
With hindsight, I should have ordered the right tool from ebay last week... only £8.49 plus shipping... :evil:


Had a quick jaunt over home recently. If I had known of your predicament, I could have brought you one over - sorry Grumps!

ie..the exposed rim round the top of the filter.

Then use a blunt ended chisel and tap it in an anti clockwise direction. Medium to heavy taps with a hammer should loosen it.



Hi Connor,

I might pop around and see you around the new year - providing you still live there.

Regards to the wife and dogs.
