My oil filter removal tool managed to accidently touch something under there and make it spark..

yea i found that one the first time i tried to take off the filter, scared the crap out of me!
I now use a open ended filter wrench, saves having to reset everything on the stereo if you disconnect the battery

Ahh ok, thanks man.

Lol, good to see I'm not the only one. I bought some cheap filter remover tool from Auto 1, but it's a bit of a shit design to say the least.
