    Depends if your using oem or aftermarket filters? if oem I'd get the honda oil filter remover, k&n has a nut on the end so easy to remove

    It's for my ZX10R Tracker if that makes a diff?

    The Blade just goes to the Dealers as it's not a year old yet and I'll probably swap it out before it's 3 years old.

    I ve always used the strap and cam universal type on oem filters. Its just a handle with a cam end and a flatened ring and a thick canvas strap. you wrap the strap around feed it thru the ring and the cam works against the filter body to tighten the strap and turn the filter. They can be used for tightening up too but be careful as they easily dent the filter. Only cost £8 ish from halfords.

    I hammer a screwdriver into the end of the old filter to get it off and hand-tighten the new filter.
