Comment on If you can find the oil filter, I'll give you a quarter. If you can get it out after the lube tech tightened it to 325 lbft, I'll give you sixty bucks.

  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!

    Pushing on the lever tightens the chain, so the harder you push, the tighter it grips.
