Sure fire way to remove a stuck filter from a Spitfire is to get a big 
screwdriver and drive it all the way through the filter.  Then
you will have two things.

1.  A big mess of oil to clean up and..

2.  Something to grab hold of to give some leverage.

It will then come right off.

If that fails, try dynamite!
