RE: [ST] Oil Filter Wrench for ST



ChannelLock pliers don't fit into the recess around the oil pan too well on
my RS. Plus, I don't want to risk torqueing the jaws into the thin wall
casting.

I had a Suzuki before the RS, and the Suzuki wrench fit PERFECT. It's
stamped sheet metal, with a 3/8" square lug welded on to accept a 3/8" drive
tool. I had bought one of those cast alumninum wrenches at an auto parts
store, but it didn't fit between the pipe on my Katana. The Suzuki wrench
was slim enough to fit, plus it is a much closer-tolerance fit to the oil
filter housing. I think it cost me about $12US, worth every penny.
YMMV
