2007 RXP Oil Filter Removal HELP

[zackslapshot20]

I was changing my oil in my 2007 RXP and tried to get the oil filter off. It wont budge. I do not want to try and rip it out of there due to obvious reasons. Yes i did unscrew it. Anyone have any tips or tools to get this off? Thanks!

I have a tool that slides under the lip and allows you to pop it up to get it to come out. If your really careful, use 2 flat screwdrivers on opposite sides and with a little pressure, pry it up. Be sure the o ring has oil on it before you reinstall it again, so it's easy next time for removal.
