Unhappy 2.0 LSJ Oil Filter Change.

I know this is going to sound rather stupid, but i must know, how in the hell do you get that oil filter composite out? Im pretty sure i found where its located its just impossible to get a wrench or ratchet big enough down in that space. ANY help would be great.

P.S.- I'm running Royal Purple 5w-30 in my LSJ right now and i love it! no more dry starts because it's made so that it leaves a coat of lube on your cylinder walls when the engine is shut off.

get the size of the socket u need..then jst get a long extension attatch it to a ratchet and have at it...then replace filter..wiggle ur way back into place..and tighten up again useing same way u took it out...

ps. its under the supercharger to the right..its kinda hard to see but it just looks like a big octagon ..and the entension will have to go in between some vacuum hoses

I always put the socket on the filter housing first then connect it to the extension. It takes a little bit of practice.
