[DeTomaso] Oil Filter won't budge

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Um, drive a screwdriver through it and reef it off.

When you put the new one on, remember  "contact plus 3/4 turn by hand," 
that's all.  Anymore than that and you will be using a screwdriver as 
your oil filter wrench.  I've been doing it that way for years and have 
never had to use a screwdriver again.
