    1981 KZ440: Oil filter removal?

    Hi. My bike has been sitting for 10 years. I am trying to change the oil and filter but can't get the filter out. The 17mm bolt is rounded, although a 6 sided socket can get a grip (a 12 point one slips). I have used a lever (approx 600mm) and an impact wrench but neither moves it, although there is not enough room for a proper swing with a hammer.

    Any suggestions to help me move it? Thanks.

    Are you SURE you are removing the oil filter??
    If you are 100% sure its the oil filter bolt then theres something reall wrong if you're using a 600mm bar and its still not budging.
    Can you bring the bike to me to look at??
    To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

    Any signs of corrosion? How about spraying something like CRC on it and letting it soak in and then trying again.
