Does autozone have that? I will go run and check.

Why the **** do they put them on so tight?

I believe a machine puts them on at the factory that tight. My first WRX was a nightmare to get off. Good luck dude!

Yeah the dealer usually does it for free


I know this is totally useless

but I have a wrench that slides on that uses a wrench to turn it. I can put an extension on it and get it in there

I have a wrench that I can let you use if you're up here in the North Bay - or you could come over and change it here beside my '98 Forester - getting oil changed tomorrow
