I use an inexpensive pliers type filter "wrench" for removal of stubborn units. If ou go that route, test the "gription" of the unit first as I recently got a new one when I couldn't find "ol faithful" and it keeps slipping the slider adjustment thingy (major annoyance). It ususally makes a dented mess of the old filter, but who cares. Never a failure.

"cap" type are OK too but I found them to be flimsy in the heat of a truly stuck filter. They have sheet metal stamped ones too. I just like the versitility of the pliers as I only need the one (and it grips large diameter tubing nicely too).

Screwdriver method not fail-safe as you can tear apart a really stuck unit. However, I sucessfully used the method for years until I found the pliers.
