It is indeed snug, but you *can* use a conventional oil wrench to loosen the filter.

The only caveat to that is that you cannot be someone with monstrously big hands, but hey, that's not my problem... ;)

Personally, if I had the gumption, I'd get a sandwich plate/adapter and move the damn filter location to somewhere where I don't have to remove the %$#@! engine cover every time I change the oil!
