Does anyone know if there's a special tool to get the oil filter out? The
filter is in a really hard space to get to. Is there a special way to
remove the oil filter?

Use a cap-type oil filter wrench. It slips over the end of the oil filter

and you use a 3/8" drive socket extension to turn.

Sears sells a great filter remover. It has a cam action that gently
squeezes the filter. Only place I've seen it.
