Embarrased that I'm asking

I worked at an oil change place for 5 years and saw ridiculously tight oil filters from time to time. Here is the normal progression.

Strap wrench (if filter is too tight it will start to crush the can)
Channel locks on crushed can
Screwdriver through the can

On a 1978 Covette Pace car that had the original filter (like 20 miles on it in early 90's) we did everything above and in the end the can was completely torn from the base plate. At that time we used an air chisel to run the filter off. It was a messy frustrating afternoon.

Hope this helps.
