Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That’s how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn’t expecting the filter to be on top.

    Thanks!
    Yeah, I still can’t really visualise how this is working
    I get that you use the chain and the handle as a lever, but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this can work, without the chain just slipping around the stuff I want to unscrew.
    How do I get the chain like stiff, when I get it in place?

    Really sorry if I’m kinda slow here …

      No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.

      Hope that helps!

        Ah, ok, thank you very much

        I somehow imagined the chain hanging sloppy down and around the filter, and somehow the lever above still brings some force down there

        That mechanism now is very obvious.
        Thanks!
