Is it okay to stab through it with a screwdriver? fecking thing!1 :evil:

Stab away...make sure its a long screwdriver. Unscrew anti-clockwise. Remember to put a bit of oil on the new one to ensure a good seal :wink:

oh right i have a load off oil filters staps and chains

Turn anti clock wise, best way to get them off is with a set which fits each type of filter, but usually only mechanics have it. Those straps and chains I find are a waste of time.

Cheers all, yeh those strap things dont work, wish i had one of the filter socket things but as you say only the garages really have them.
