Rather than hammer a screwdriver through the old filter (a practice I detest and one that I have never actually used anyway!), I turned up this correctly sized remover on Fleabay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180610505741 Uses 3/8 drive or 21mm spanner and fits the filter perfectly:

Got a tub myself. On a shelf next to buckets of steam, boxes of glass nails, tins of Tartan paint and a bag of Tads lol. |

Don't forget the rubber rivets to go with the rubber mallet. And don't forget the long weight which is in the stores. |

Is it universal fitting or just for Purflux? |

Which is great, until you need to remove one that's a different size or has different flutes. I like the chain or strap wrenchs, if you've got decent end access - or, if side access is possible, filter pliers really are the dog's...

Which ever method you use it's only hand tight on fitting, I recall some idiots on BMW bikes used the fluted tool to do them up aarrghh! Also the original filter for the early 'K' flying brick had a nut welded on to assist removal. This was discontinued after being used to tighten the filters up by some workshops. |

Banjo is absolutelly right. By no means do not tight any ,2cv, Xantia, Bx, etc by any tool! Only hand tight after applying some oil to the rubber gasket. |
