Air tools. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> My 99' is the same way, have to take off the rock guards to get to the filter... well at least to take it out without making a complete mess. You can go through the drivers side front wheel well with a filter wrench and a couple of long socket extensions.

Has anyone found something that fits under the filter and catches all of the oil when you unscrew the filter? I'm tired of trying my best to keep it clean but alway spilling a little oil no matter how careful I am. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />
