Lmao yeah I just grabbed some oil filter pliers from the parts store. That did the trick. So many interference items just for an oil filter. I got maybe two degrees of rotation with each squeeze.
I feel you, but the reality is probably more like “Project Manager said I need to save 13 more cents on materials or he’ll murder my children, so if I move the oil filter from this nice easy to access location and remove the lip that catches any drippage it’ll get us there.”

OP offered $60 if someone can do it for them, so as long as you get the job done and everything reinstalled and running, sure, go for it.

Oof, gotta hate the engineers that design shit like that! Engineers must hate mechanics, so the feeling is mutual…

90% of the time it’s the bosses.
