I bought one of those 3 legged rotary clamping things for filters yrs ago.
for the idiotic ones where you can only get at base.
Fit on ext socket bar.
Up to filter push up otate.
it clamps filter and winds it off.
Even when on tight.
I broke through the side of one filter on mates missus Toyota once
it was on that tight.
Really work well, They do. But not for large dia filters.
Bummer.

Imo no one is an idiot if your having a go !! But sheesh some times you feel like venting at someone or something when they are so freagan hard to get off !! I find some brands have cheap seals that tend to valconise .. Had that issue with some ILoad vans . Yep used the cold chisel . Screw driver trick on top join . Just don't let these things beat you !! Lol
