Use a K&N oil filter(the best) has its own take off nut, use a 1 inch socket or wrench to put on-remove.....Raddman.....

Get one of the custom fit "sockets" $5-6 (auto parts store) just take in a new filter to match size.

a screwdriver is also good, but I couldnt fit one thanks to my header. it gives you a good spot to turn it with, because chances are you wont be able to grip it without having it slip in your hand if you do it barehanded.
