Signum 3.0 V6 cdti oil change. Special tool required for filter?

[onlymeagain]

Looking to do an oil change on my 07 signum.
Do I need a special tool to remove the filter and is this a straight forward task?

yeah its a special tool , cost about £25

got mine from fleebay

the oil filter is at the front of the engine at the bottom , it has a bolt head on the bottom of the filter housing so you cah drain the oil out of the filter first

oh and dont get an oil filter from the stealers there £41

go to euro car parts , they charge about £10
