[ST] suggestions for a recalictrant oil filter?

["Kyle Clarke" <kylekc03@xxxxxxxxx>]

Does anyone have any suggestions for removing a recalcitrant oil filter? I 
have an 00 ST. I bought the 'Triumph' filter removal wrench. It seems like a 
close fit (it won't slip when placed on the filter and attempted to turn by 
hand) but ultimately it does rotate on the filter, with me using a breaker 
bar on it for leverage and pressing up on the wrench/filter to make sure the 
wrench is not 'popping off' when I turn it. Searched the archives, found 
something about sticking screwdrivers through the side of the filter in an 
emergency situation without wrenches, which I tried to but lack the 
requisite improv mechanical skill to make this actually useful.

Thanks,
Kyle
'00 ST
