Injust used a pluming tool called a boa-constrictor.

It has a rubber strap and a handle. I think it's normally used for removing catch bowls on u bends under sinks!

have you got a photo of what you're trying to take off? for us that have never seen it, might know what you could use

Might be worth having a look at the Sealey catalogue, they do several filter tools

I used one of these last time but i did not like it the filter box is made of plastic and the boa seams to put strain on one side
