I picked up a filter wrench (pliers type) at a place in OK City called Steve's Wholesale for around 4 bucks. There were 2 sizes, got the smaller one. Worked great! I think i saw one at Harbor Freight that was similar. Now i have something for the Scag Zero Turn as well...looks like same size filter as the TBA almost.
The old screwdriver will do it though, kinda messy but does the trick.
