Okay, here's the stupid one - changing the oil for the first time and trying to
remove the oil filter. It rotated about 1 turn, and then went "thunk". No more
rotate! Is there a trick, a catch, a protruding thing it catches on? The sides look
clear, andI can't find anything on the top either. I don't want to force anything.

It feels like it is catching toward the front of the engine, but trying to bend it
down there doesn't seem to work either.

Nothing goes easily on this car, huh?

Help!! 1.8 L-Jet, if it matters.

Thanks,

Jeff
