Oil Filter Wrench

I have a 07 Mercury 25 hp 4 stroke and I'm having a heck of a time finding a 64 mm 3/8 drive oil filter wrench. The smallest I can find around here is a 65 mm that I modified with a screw and It'll work but it still slips. They don't give you much room around the filter to use a different style wrench so I just use what I have to use. If anyone knows where I could find a 64 mm it sure would be a big help, thanks.

"Shep"

cut a strip of sandpaper equal to the depth of the side of the oil filter wrench, and double it over and it will grip the filter and the wrench, should come right out.

Thanks for the tip, jimp. That will work.

Autoparts stores sometimes have oil filter "wrench" that is basically a piece of nylon webbing. Works well in small spaces.
