oil filter tool

Same as a BMW 1100, or 1150 oil head motorcycle. Or, buy a new filter, take it with you to an auto parts store and get the cap type one that fits. Usually a 3/8 inch drive. Fill the new filter with oil before installing.

I have used an old belt in the past, if you have enough room thread the end through the buckle put it round the filter and pull back against the buckle.

Filter is recessed in the oil pan. No way to get a belt on it.
 
I have both 76/8 and 76/14. For one oil change the filter seemed caked in and really stuck and I used the old fashioned dirty way - screwdriver in and wedge it round.

Better solution is to wedge in sand paper for extra grip. Not as messy. or get one of these:

"One of those" doesn't fit, the filter is just too close to the sump to get it in.
Buy a tool with the correct number of flutes (there's loads on ebay) then degrease the filter. Use a rag soaked in petrol to clean it up, the surface will end up "drier" than using some other degreasers and less likely to slip. Finally, give the tool a tap with a mallet to make sure it is fully seated .......then keep your fingers crossed.

It does fit, at least the one I have. I used it on a friends bike when he over tightened the filter.
 
Then be careful. Mine has legs that are too fat so there must be a variety of sizes out there.
