Due to the limited access, there have been times when the wrench doesn't work. Even the screwdriver carefully placed through the filter just tears the metal. In those cases a set of grips crushing the filter body are the only thing that works. DAMHIK...

I don't use oil filter sockets (end cap wrench) for any of my vehicles and haven't for years. All I have laying in the tool box is oil filter pliers. They look somewhat like standard tongue+groove pliers but with curved jaws and larger teeth. Harbor Freight sells a few different ones, I've been using the self adjusting. I don't mind if the old filter gets chewed up since this is for removal only. Install for any filter I only do by hand.

I can attest that changing the oil filter on the NT700 is easier than changing it on the ST1300.

I will see if it's easier than changing one on an '85 Sabre 700.

Yes, as Mike said don't get one that is taller than stock. And with the taller ones you might get lucky and the center stand just dent it. If it is not your lucky day a puncture.

This I have done, and the taller filter is in 1/4" more
