1991 Ford Ranger

Hello, I need help with my oil filter.

So far I have drained the oil and have been trying for the past 2-3 hours to remove the oil filter. It was originally installed by Lub3X (a oil changing shop) over 8 months ago.

Now the problem is that the oil filter won't come off! I used screw drivers, hammers, oil filter wrenches, and the thing won't budge. The other thing is I put a few holes in it to drain the oil so I can't just fill it up with oil again and bring it to a shop.

How do I get the oil filter off? There is very little room to work and the thing is VERY stuck -- like someone put super glue on or something!

Please help me I can't go work because my car won't start!
