I have on occasion had to resort to driving a screwdriver through the
filter. It gives a lot of leverage on a stuck filter. Remember to drive
it thru the entire filter and out the other side, preferably on the un-
sealing end of the filter.
An alternative is to carefully try and use a chisel on the lip of the
filter to unscrew. Be careful as to not destroy the filter sealing
surface on the engine.
Just my 2 cents worth.
