Edit: I snapped this after I found it. That’s how I knew it was on so tight. It still took me a good few minutes to find it because I kept looking under the car. I wasn’t expecting the filter to be on top.

I’m no mechanic either, but it looks like you can tighten the chain around a stuck cap and then use the red handle as a lever to apply a large amount of force, “unsticking” the stuck cap
Thanks!
Yeah, I still can’t really visualise how this is working
I get that you use the chain and the handle as a lever, but I just can’t wrap my mind around how this can work, without the chain just slipping around the stuff I want to unscrew.
How do I get the chain like stiff, when I get it in place?
Really sorry if I’m kinda slow here …
No worries! I don’t think the chain needs to be stiff, just tight. From what I can tell, these are called a chain wrench, and I found a demo video.
Hope that helps!
Ah, ok, thank you very much
I somehow imagined the chain hanging sloppy down and around the filter, and somehow the lever above still brings some force down there
That mechanism now is very obvious.
Thanks!
