Beats me how anyone can get a filter on that tight! must have fitted it without oiling the sealing ring first I guess? Freaking numpties.

The one I made up locates on the holes in the filter baseplate as well, the other end has a female half inch drive so you can give it some serious leverage if it is stubborn. I reckon the filters tend to tighten slightly during use and there isn't much exposed out the bottom of the cases to get hold of.
