removing the oil filter
I have a 2000 Ford Contour SE, V-6, 2.5 liter engine. All I want to do is change the oil!! I can't get to the oil filter! I can get the filter wrench on the filter but there's no room to manuever. Help! How can I get the filter off? Is there a special tool or some tricky way to get to it? This should be the easiest thing to do myself, it's getting pretty darn aggrevating. I'm about ready to stab a screw driver thru it and twist it off that way!!
:confused:

As BeJay said, there are all kinds of wrenches to do this job. After you get it done, visit a GOOD auto parts store and have a look around. There's bound to be one there that will help your cause 
I remember my friend and I had a stubborn filter on a Toyota. Being that my friend is a plumber, the light went off in his head.
He slithered out from under the car, popped his trunk and pulled out a pair of huge Channellock pliers. In two seconds, the filter was sitting on the floor in the drain pan. Lol!
