F'ing Oil Filter
So I am changing my oil for the first time since I bought my bike:
Gallon of Rotella T Synthetic oil - check
Oil funnel - check
Oil pan - check
New Suzuki Oil Filter - check
Oil filter tightening tool - check
Craftsman metric socket set - check
Allen wrenches for fairing - check
Shop towels - check
I take off my fairing, run my bike for a bit to get the oil warmed up, and then drain all the oil into the pan. Everything is going good. The oil is nice and brown but not black.
The oil filter that is installed is a K&N filter, which has a 17mm nut built-in so you don't need the oil filter tool to install it. The guy who had the bike before me must have tightened the hell out of it. I try everything I can to get this sucker off but it won't budge. I try the 17mm socket, a crecent wrench, turning it by hand and even going out to buy a strap-wrench which broke.
Any suggestions on how to get this damn thing off? The nut is semi stripped now from trying to get it off.
