I prefer installing spin-on filters without tools, but some filter mounts are awkwardly positioned, preventing a good grip on the filter. Can the filter be damaged by tightening to the correct specified tightness using a cap wrench? How about a rubber strap wrench?
My cap wrench is slightly too large, so I'll have to line it with a paper towel. Would this make damage more likely? Perhaps I could line it with a ring of electrical tape, producing a perfect fit. Has anyone tried that?
