How strong are you...

I am not strong enough to get my fuel filter off without tools. Maybe I put it on too tight, but I am now at college, getting ready to go home tomorrow, and my car will barely do seventy. I don't have a filter wrench with me, or a wrench big enough to hold the filter bolt still I don't own many tools, so don't have them with me although hopefully at Christmas time we'll get that fixed. Are any of you strong enough to get it off with bare hands? Oh, and just to clarify, this thing is still threaded the right (clockwise) way. So looking down at the fuel filter, as I am turning it looks like I'm going counterclockwise, but I'm really going the right way. Don't want to spend all my strength getting it tighter
