Oil filter neck (I think I'm in trouble)

Ok. I've got myself into a pinch here and need some advice. Ok. We have installed the new front engine. A real pain too. Those new type of motor mounts are not that fun. Anyways. This is a turbo so it has the screw in type oil filters. We adjusted the neck so that it is 90 degrees perpendicular to the engine, but it needs to be adjusted up about 20 degrees. Is there a tool or an easy way to loosen that monster nut while in the plane? Or am I looking at removing the engine? Was not a good day today when I tried to screw a filter on and it didn't fit. Made me cry.

Thank's all the skymaster buffs. Someday I'll be one too.

I heard there is a special tool that can be used. If I can't find one.. is anyone interested in renting one to me?

Richard
