I found that removing the wheel and driving a screw driver in through the side (all the way so the handle is flush with the filter). This will allow just enough to space to start turning. You'll need to do it a few times then it will undo by hand. If you still have problems run a fine blade around the rubber gasket to break the seal.

Well done. I normally drive the screwdriver through the side. Roughly where the line and "3" is. Any other jobs you plan on doing have a look at there are a few good how to which may help.

You can get oil filter cups, that fit to the end of the filter so you can remove and tighten to correct torque without damaging them. They sell them on ebay for like $55. Use these commonly on European cars that have filter cartridges but work on all filters with the correct number of flutes (edges).

Check the number of flutes and the size, make sure the kit has what you need. There are a lot for sale, I paid $55 free delivery for mine so shop around a bit don't pick the one off the link.

I bought this one recently. Worked a charm for my 3sge and 4age.
 
Especially the 4age since its right under the manifold
