Just unscrew the filter. If you cannot remove it with your hands, it was put on too tight, which is common, as most people tighten them too much. You will need to use a good filter wrench. The type wrench you will need depends on how much room you have. Oil the gasket & Put the new filter back on and only tighten it 3/4 turn after the filter makes contact with the mounting surface. By doing this you will not need a filter wrench when removing the filter next time. 3/4 turn is plenty tight and any more is too much.
