See if you can carefully grip the bent edge of the filter rim with needle nose pliers and bend it back, which may relieve pressure on the threads and allow you to get it unscrewed. Since the filter is wasted anyway, you may have to cut small notches on opposite sides of the filter rim, like at 9 and 3 o'clock (as though looking at a clock face) and try to get it off like you would with a spanner wrench or something similar. Some people use a wide putty knife to get a grip on the notches. |
