These work good. Most quick lube oil change places have those at their disposal.I really like this, you can add an extension if needed.

This is what I use, but you must make sure you buy a filter that has the socket flats on it. Some don't.Easiest way on a BX is with a cup socket (like a really big socket that fits over the end of the filter), a 3 plus inch socket extention, and rachet.
change the type of "wrench" or grip that you are using...........
did you remove the bonnet? Slide it forward?
there are dozens of type of "wrenches" , and if ALL else fails, the screwdriver works wonders..........
Those are usually my go to for filters. Got two of the oil filter channel locks as well. One small pair, one large that will open up to 8" for large hydraulic filters. Occasionally I'll have to pull out the strap wrench when some bone head gets froggy and uses a wrench to tighten a filter.These have NEVER failed me (yet):
