Changed my 850xp oil today. I didnt have the oil filter wrench, used a screwdriver and hammer like mentioned earlier. How about them front upper A-arm bushing grease zerts? Wow they suck. Ive got power steering, are the zerts a pain on the non power steering ones also?

I managed to fit my Knipex Cobra's in the hole in the frame, and the filter came right off. The biggest problem I had was no metric allen keys. Thanks to my neighbor Tom for helping me with that one. Whole change took maybe 15 minutes.
