Oil change

Post by peenee »

I have a 93 n/a mr2 and today decided to change the oil and filter, as ive only owned the car for 4 weeks, everything was going fine untill i had to remove the old filter once i had finally located it there was no way i could remove it, as for the position of it i could get my hand around it but no leverage as too smaller area, and as for access from underneath the car no way, so has anyone else had the same problem, if so any ideas on how to get the bloody thing off.
