Oil Filter removal

[Andy Sunny Gti]

On the SR20VE engine it's in a bitch of a place. So the only way I can reach it is to jack car up and twist from underneath.
Now just want to find out if it's me, and am I twisting the right way.
From looking at it upside down which way do i twist? It's just not budging with my hands to come off.

Thanks again..

lol

sorry, only because this is being discussed in the Q&A thread.

It turns anti-clockwise to undo (as you look at the block from the back of the filter).

I would love one of these...

Just what I would like but not for £40.
Just going to have to put all my strength into it and twist.

This way.

So my arrow is wrong?

 

[edk]

Your arrow is shit considering the angle of the photo.

But at a guess at what you're trying to show, yes it's wrong. You know what anti-clockwise is right?

Hammer a big screwdriver thru it and use that to turn it
