   Heya guys & girls, just in the middle of an oil change, and the plastic oil filter cap won't budge (using just my hands atm). I've got a chain tool in the garage, but I'm a bit cautious it'll break the plastic, anyone else use a tool to get it off?

   Cheers for your advice, given up on the filter for this eve, going to grab a bigger socket off a mate and do it another time.
