Yeah I thought the same thing when I read it, but I only skimmed it so I thought I might have skipped it.

Good write up.

You know what they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words" and it's even better when the pictures have captions.

Nothing like a plethora of knowledge all in one spot, yes, one stop shopping, you can't beat that with a baseball bat.

Instead of the screwdriver treatment next time try the patented RZ 350 Rider "Rope Trick". I believe I'm the first one in the world to use this method. Wrap the filter with about 4 turns or so of rope going from the filter mounting flange side going Counter-Clockwise, hold the end 1st and pull the side that UNSCREWS the filter, which will be the filter closed end side or 2nd end. I've used this way numerous times and never had it fail. I've even crushed the guts out of a few that were put on friends cars by the oil change franchise stores. Give it a try!
