If I were to have her killed, I would be the villain!

Tried to change my oil for the first time on my 2017 10gen 1liter honda civic(manual) , drained the oil and when i tried to undo the filter by hand it didnt budge didnt have the tools so tried the screwdriwer method but that didnt do jack , went to the store bough the first tool, the bolt holding it together undo itself and fell in to the oil bucket , went angrly to the store and bought the second tool the photo says enough how that went , now on the pliers and the filter still wont budge

Any advice for a noobie ?

UPDATE: GOT HIS ASS

Do you need a set of these? 👆

Drum brakes was stuck, went online checking for tips for removal. Majority of people commenting on videos to just back off the star wheel via the hole on the back of the backing plate.

Well guess what, this one​ has no hole for the adjuster wheel.

Finally saw a video where the guy made basically cut his drum in half. I was about to do that but then thought... hmm.. I can just make my own hole on the drum to get to the adjuster. Im not re using the old one anyway.

Another video showed drilling the safety pin out but that looked like it would take 30 minutes or something and I'd have to go under the car. So.... naaah.

Cut the hole, remove the brake parts. And then I get the new drum. What do you know... this new drum has a hole to adjust the star wheel. Well.. well.. well.. here I thought the backing plate was supposed to have the hole.
