OK, so I finally got the filter out by using the tools shown in the picture. The #7 plastic cap got reinforced with a hose-clamp, which prevented full rotation, so the stud puller end of the hammer was used to remove the plastic cap. I had to use a 6-point 1" socket for the cap, since the 3/8 hole and the 12-point version just stripped the corners. Maybe doing it with a warm engine helped the process too.
How much should the new filter be tightened? I did somewhere from 1/2 to 3/4 turn from finger-tight.
