Hi guys my oil filter is stuck in place I've destroyed it trying to loosen it, so I've got to remove the plate it mounts to I'm guessing there is a gasket behind it but is there any thing else that's gonna be a bitch if I pull it off ? I would look in my Haynes manual but it's hiding from me having a bad day me thinks !

Have you tried a screwdriver all the way through and then twist?

can you pull the whole housing off and get it in a vice? might be easier in the long run rather than ****ing about in the cold trying to free it in situ.
