M44 oil change w/o proper filter housing cover tool
Don't know why I didn't order something to screw it off with.
Looked at it many times opening the hood and knew from our e39s that a socket breaks it loose soooooo much easier.
Yet, thought I could crank that sucker off by hand.
No way
Wasn't about to go and buy something from Pep, Auto, or need a Nap, wasting 1/2 an hour that may/not have worked. Got a little creative.

A couple of taps with a hammer on a flat driver got it rotating just fine.
Took over by hand easy as could be.
