Re: in a jam.

once you snap that aluminum filter base it is only two bolts to change it out. very simple to do you can get the base probably at a local parts store

Nice looking boat there. Looks like a terrible spot to work on it.

If you think you'll forget which way, you could always write an arrow on the filter with "off" written when you install the new one, just in case.

Glad you got it!

I am a bit late to this thread, but my thought was an air chisel. Would give the ability to shake it loose in a situation where there is little or no room to swing a hammer.
