That's a good looking wrench, it might just work too if he can get in to it.

Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
 

I use an end-cap wrench I found at Napa. Here's a picture:
http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/CAL-988.html . One thing that WAS done
right, was I found on my '03 that they bolted in a spout so that as you
remove the filter, all of that oil will spill out of one point, allowing you
to place your pan to avoid making a mess!

Regards,

Bruce

You must have really small hands. Or how do clean the gasket seat
making sure the old gasket isn't stuck there?
