I had one hell of a time taking the oil filter off of my 2011 grizzly 450.. After using 4 types of wrenches and caps..I had to remove my airbox so I could reach the base of the filter to remove. Damn was it on there..anybody else have this problem?.

was this the first time the oil filter has been off? make sure the new filter that there is oil on the rubber seal, a coating of oil on the new oil filter seal will make it come off alot easier, I dont think they put oil on the factory oil filter, it is a real pain to get off.​

Yeah, it shouldn't be that hard to take off. I put mine on hand tight and it stays put just fine and comes off easy enough too.
