Best Answer

One can purchase a special wrench for removing the screw on type filter canister. It has a chain to grip the canister, with an adjustable end much like a vice grip. If you can cope with the resultant spill, and easy way is to drive a large screwdriver through the filter, and use the screwdriver as a bar to undo it.
