    once in a while I get a good stuck one. take a big screw drive and jab it into the filter, if you can go through the whole thing and pop out the other side it helps, than hold pressure on it and it will finally let loose. when putting the new one on, make sure and coat the seal with fresh oil and only tighten 3/4 turn once it makes contact.

    If you coat the seal with DC4 (Dow Corning), you can likely avoid this issue in the future.
