Good luck with it.

The tool will cost more than the stud will.

I just meant that since it is already damaged, you don't care if you damage it more removing it as it will then be replaced by a new one.

PS. Cormanus, its just a piece of threaded pipe that is screwed into a threaded hole in the crankcase.

I have to go to bed now, work tomorrow

Yep, it ain't a bolt. Replace it and don't use aftermarket filters.

Possibly. Then you have the consider the time and effort required to replace the filter fitting stud in the engine block. Maybe it is a simple procedure and then again maybe not. I have worked on enough mechanical stuff in my lifetime to know nothing is as easy as it appears.
