Have you changed the filter on THAT car before? Looks like someone tried and left the tool stuck in the line when they couldn't get it off.
Yes I have changed it multiple times. I dont remember it ever giving me any issues at all coming off. Its been awhile since I last changed it considering the car sat for 3 years with a bad engine but I believe last time it had the style connect that had the 2 plastic taps you press in with your fingers to release it. Again its been years since that was put on but I know it wasnt anywhere near this aggravating.
