Big *** channel locks have never failed me, and they're the only thing that will fit in that narrow slow between the block and the axle.

In cases where I didn't have it with me, I just keep pressure on it even with just my finger tips. It may seem hopeless with no sign of giving way but keep pressure on it anyway. Have a friend yell "come on, stop using your purse!" and threaten to get under there and show you what a wuss you are.

look at my link, the locking vise grip with the big curved narrow jaws, all vise grips are now crap made in china, but old ones like that are still around. narrow jaws get in there, then dig into the can to turn it, best filter tool ever

You guys should try a K series oil change. Everything but the K23 is awful. My life is hard :'(
