Mulllered oil filter
Discussion
Too tight, spin off type and now mulllered by me with a chain wrench. No space to hammer a screw driver though, anyone used this type?

I can't see the three leg one doing better than a chain wrench, have you tightened it such that it kinks the body of the filter to get more grip?
My experience is if it won't turn with a chain wrench like that, then it'll rip in half and you can use a pin spanner on the oilflow holes.

No easy access or I'd have just hammered a screwdriver though and be done. It needs to something that fits over the end, the flutes are knackered now!
If you got a chain wrench on I think you should get them pliars on....You can get these that go on the end and ratchet down also https://www.aimtools.co.uk/products/4502-katsu-too...
One of these has never let me down (I have the SOT version)

I like that, ordered the Draper one from suggestions.. stick strap on top then wind it with a nice 1/2 inch extension and ratchet till its taken the slack and whipped the filter off https://www.amazon.co.uk/AB-Tools-US-Pro-Remover-I...

Yup, have a 30 year old one, impressed they are still around. Has never failed to remove the worst of Fiat, Lada, Vauxhall and Ford. Have tried the new shiny ones like the tripod thing at the start, wrench type ones but always returned to the strap on.https://www.amazon.co.uk/AB-Tools-US-Pro-Remover-I...
I've got one similar to what you posted but flat rather than knurled legs, it will remove anything or shear the filter screw thread before it slips.

Had a chain wrench since the 1970's. Access can be really difficult with the arm, getting it in then turning. I recently bought one of the three armed claw things - a revelation.
Remember my Dad, must have been 40+ year ago putting a screwdriver through an oil filter to remove it, what a bloody awful mess, engine, chassis, floor, arms, sleeves. I vowed never to get into that situation..

These are bloody brilliant. I bought some to undo a troublesome oil filter and also found they are great for opening jar lids to!!https://www.clarketooling.co.uk/wp-content/uploads...

I've used the Halfords version of that for years, never let me down.https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-AK643-Filter-65-11...
