    Under the Sheets. Supra MK3

    Any Tricks for stuck oil filter ?

    Looks like you might git it figured or off by now but I'll throw out some ideas. In the past ive had to use: of course a screwdriver lol. Serpentine belt with vice grips. Chain wrench. Big channelocks work good too. Pipe wrench. Chizzel on an old crusty one.

    My wife is small and is pregnant

    My memory is coming in now. The bucket worked good but meant I had to stay with it and pick it up and put it in the back. The pull rope stool was so I could get the others and myself in lol.
