when i did my oil change that thing was a big help...

there is a way to get the filter out without having to take off your wheel... you pop your tool on the filter then scoot toward the back of the car a little bit more.... there is a bigger hole that you can actually see the filter throu... then snake your hands in there and unscrew the sum b!tch..

i can take pics if ya guys want... but not till tommorw afternoon....
