Use correct wrench or tools, metal expands when hot and makes it hard so let it cool down a bit.

many people do filters up too tight to start with, making their job that much more difficult come service time.
do the filter up until rubber seal makes contact and then only 1/4 -1/2 turn more. that is plenty.
with 12mnth service intervals, the filter comes off by hand. could still need a bit of 'oomph' but no drastic measures are required.
