I'm half-way through changing the oil on my Panjero but can't remove the oil filter...

I've spent two days struggling with a strap wrench, did the old 'screwdriver' trick (it broke) and am now completely stuck...

I really need one of these: -



I can buy on ebay but Mrs. Cyprusgrump won't be happy being off the road (as opposed to off-road) for a week...

I can get to Limassol or Pafos on my motorbike tomorrow (no camera), can anybody point me towards a tool shop where I can buy the right tool for the job? I don't want to drive around all day looking for it if I can help it...

Thanks in advance for your help...

Have you tried using a chain wrench, if you've got room to swing it it's the best tool for the job.

What about spraying the threads with WD-40? Is there any skin left on the can?

No...

I have an industrial-strength one of these: -



I'm not sure there is room for a chain wrench....

It is an oil filter - it is bloody full of oil!

Or it was before I stuck a screwdriver through it!
