In my 37 years of driving/owning vehicles and hvy. equipment, I can only think of 3 times i have let anyone change my oil/filter...one of which was the 1000 mile first service on this '06 Ultra. I changed the oil/filter at 500 miles...no problem. I was expecting the dain plug to be overtightened - wasn't, but the oil filter was.
The cam-lock type filter wrench i usually use slipped and I was afraid of damaging the sensor.
The band type slipped also...The trick is to tear a piece of sandpaper about 2" wide X 8" long and fold it so it's 1" x 8" with the sandpaper sides facing out. Slip this between the filter and the band and it'll help the band grip the filter...
