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
