Blimey well done to Rotundo for perseverance. The facebook reply made me laugh where one guy had the whole street come down to have a look at his struggle.

Overtightening oil filter is a mistake DIY people with little experience make, not realizing the rubber seal expands and will make it much more difficult to remove.  The casing of the filter is quite thin and in some cases in removing even proper tools may cause it to distort.  I had this once and not wanting to use heat removed much of the casing with a sharp old chisel.  this enabled me to carefully drift the thicker screw plate. Once it moves a few degrees it's easy to remove.  If this had not worked, I would then have made a tool somewhat like an angle grinder key so the projecting pegs would engage with the oil holes in the base plate of the filter.
