This is why you can't trust anyone to work on your car.

We used to use large channel locks on those kind of filters when I worked at a 10 minute oil change place in high school...

Or poke a screwdriver through the housing and use it to turn the filter off....

Destroyed every piece of the outer housing, screwdriver just ripped the sides out.
It was really tight, it took air chisel to finally get out the part that screws on to the motor.
