Hello, I recently bought a 97 Land Cruiser that had been sitting for a while and was trying to do a new oil change on it. I got the old oil out and was trying to get the filter off and it absolutely will not move. I’ve tried every kind of filter wrench and already tried putting a screwdriver through it. It just feels like there isnt any room to get any torque. Any help is appreciated!
 
This is the way

I've been using one of these for a while. Kind of a PITA to get it locked on and started, but once it grabs, the filter is coming off.
