I had the same problem, the factory filter was *extremely* hard to get off.
Even the cap type filter wrenches didn't work. I finally wound up taking
the front tire off so I could get at it through the finder well. Came right
off doing it that way. It's also easier to get the new one on and
tightened. Needless to say, if you use this method jack stands are a must.
