Ps.. though I’ve never had to do this job I often look at those two unions above the oil filter and they just don’t look like they’d come out 🤣🤣
Anyone ever had issues with them? I suppose absolute worst case scenario you’d end up chopping the pipe above the nut and getting a 6 sided socket on it. Just wondering if anyone ever had issue?
As per above, filter off,, crows foot spanner, tighten slightly, then undo.
Never had an issue to date with them.

(probably done many tens of them over the years, including Opti's whilst it was on his drive!)
