Tell ya what.  If it hasn't been tightened by Kong, using a simple yellow
rubber glove, like the type used by dishwashers or something of that nature,
gets the filter off wonderfully, giving superior gripping power and keeping
Mr. Hand all clean.  Oh, and YES - it must be yellow.  The gloves told me
that  :-)

Also, I've noticed that my 8v runs just fine during cold weather startups &
driving W/O the heat stove pipe.  Lost that years ago to rust.
