Moral of the story...
Take your new filter to the parts store when you get the filter wrench and make sure it fits.

they might have about the same od but the flutes/attachment to filter, are spaced different on different filters.

Get this: I bought a porsche filter, got a end wrench to fit it perfectly, and came back from the store and the one that was on the car (it was some lame brand) from the PO was SMALLER! I used the chisel-stabbing method with great pleasure. I had just fixed a PS reservoir leak so that area was nasty, anyways.

Screw driver to get it started.
OT: Try this to properly pronounce 'Oel' in German. Form your lips in a circle like you're going to say 'O' and, while holding this position with your lips, say 'EEEE'. There, perfect German. Did I mention oel is one of my favorite German words? We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...
