Interesting - I'll have to take a look for that filter wrench next time I'm in a parts store.
As far as lining up the marks, I had read that in another thread (search is my friend...LOL), but when I changed my filter, I couldn't see any marks to line up. I'll have to take another look for those as well.
Some good information in this thread that I did not see in others, so hopefully this will help others in the future.
