how-to change the Oil filter

Could anybody give me any tips or tricks in removing the oil filter on a 1998 Prelude SH ? It is such a small amount of room to work in.... none of my oil filter wrenches fit. I know it says in the manual to buy a honda oil filter wrench from the dealer, but my dealer has none. I am going to order one off the web, but would like to get it changed before that arrives... any help, ideas would be appreciated. Thanks !

have you tried taking it off by hand?

whats with people and wrenches.. use the hands i tell ya! lol.. o dont forget to put some oil on that gasket!

I'm only 15, don't have a car, never worked on one...
but here's what I think...
Use a screw driver:biggrin:
Stab the oil filter, and start turning it if you're to weak to use your hand:dogpile:

Once I got mad enough and got my hand wedged in that little space JUST right..... I got it off by hand! Thanks for the "tips".... I might buy the Honda oil filter wrench anyway, just to see what it looks like and if it really works.

did you do it from the top of the car?
