X2 on the chain style vise grip set up. For some reason this happened twice to me. Im the only one who does my oil changes. First time I got the chain style strap wrench with the vise grip handle and it worked. Second time was doing an oil change prior to my engine removal. Engine came out and I had to pull the oil cooler to remove the filter. Engine was being removed for other reasons. If worst comes to worst, pull the oil cooler and remove it that way. It is possible that the rear mount may need to be replaced. Its not hard....just requires draining the coolant. Good time to do a coolant service as well!
