Well I got it done but what a job. I couldn't get a big screwdriver to fit in around the exhaust, sump and oil cooler so I had to use two screw drivers punched into the bottom (End) of the filter and use a lever to twist the filter off but it was in so tight I ended up using a 2ft tommy bar to prise the old filter off, must have been fitted by a bloody gorilla. The last filter was fitted by a "trained by Ducati Gorilla" so I wont be using their services again. New HiFlo fitted and torqued up to 11 nm. Thanks for all your contributions.
