Well, I was in the middle of changing the oil and oil filter but I have a big problem; I can't get the oil filter off! It is hard to reach up in to unscrew it and when I do get a grip on it, it is tightened beyond reason. Is there any trick to getting it off quickly and easily? Any help would be appreciated.

I believe there is an oil filter remover strap tool that you can buy. Not sure what it is called, but I could have sworn I've seen something like it :?

you'll have a little more room if your tire is removed also.

stuff a long screw driver through it and turn i had to do it on my bonnie when i bough it. Messy but it works.

They make special wrecnchs for that purpose. Or you could just jam a screw driver through it and then turn it, kinda messy tho.

This is one option or you can get a filter wrench cup that works on a 3/8" ratchet too! if you go with the "remove tire" option, you go through the plastic access panel that protects the engine from wheel splash.

just go to ur local joe blow auto parts store and buy a filter wrench.they make things ALOT easier.

Yep I always the filter wrench, you just hook you socket wrench to it and turn.

well the one i have is all one unit its got a handle and an adjustable strap of course its also like 40 yrs old and 100% metal (that alone shows its age)
