Default oil filter wrench is stuck

Hey,

I changed the oil on my grizzly this weekend. it all went well except now the old oil filter is stuck in the oil filter wrench. I worked on getting it out for quite some time but it never budged. any suggestions? thanks.

If it's just the old filter stuck in the wrench, and not on the machine, I reccomend a BFH.

just put the extension back on the filter wrench,and smack the end of the old filter on the end on the side with a hammer,it will pop out

must be a new wrench,mine did it too when it was new,,,,,also you dont have to put it all the way on to remove the old one

Hey,

1st - thanks for the responses. I posted this question on 3 different message boards and this is the only place that I got any feedback.

2nd - at the risk of exposing my inexperience - what is a BFH?
