Oil filter housing stuck!
My oil filter housing is so tight that I broke the filter housing removal tool, trying to un-screw it.
I have complained to the $tealer who would have changed the oil last time since I bought it from them, but they are denying any wrong doing.
What can do to get the filter housing to budge? Is there another tool that I can use?
I used the standard round one, which broke, I tried another one that has 2 U shaped pillers but that just spins around.

The one that looks like a pair of pliers may not work as there is not enough space to grip and turn. I tried with the traditional round strap.
The second one with teh U-shape and spring laded one did not work at all and I tried even with a rubber band over it to make the grip a bit tighter, but no cigar!
The round aluminum round that slips over the filter housing is one that I broke and i will post a picture later.
I have now bought the 3-prong tool but I have been sick so have not had the chance to change it yet.
If this does not work I will have to take it to the $tealer service department and see if they can losen it up for me.
