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?

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!

I tried with the chain wrench but limited access ment I couldn't get it on properly, wrecked the flutes.

I'd prefer to get it done myself, needs something to go on the end.

If I can't I'll just book it in somewhere for an oil/filter change.

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.
I used to have one of those, probably ideal for this application. I reckon I've the space to get it on.

The chain wrench I use most commonly is basically a chain version of that strap-on-a-socket design above, works really well.
I think this what I'll try, I broke my last strap on.
