My '03 has one in a tight spot but I can still get it off w/o a wrench.
I wonder if there is any kind of aftermarket remote oil filter rig you can buy?

I had the same problem with mine. I had the first free oil change at the dealer, but i would of had to drive about 20 miles to get to it so i decided to do it myself. I attempted to get the damn filter off for approximately 1.5 hrs. The filter would not budge, I tried everything mentioned, but stopped short of putting holes in the filter. I then decided this first change had to happen elsewhere, so I bit the bullet and took it down to the Exxon station and had them change it. They told me it was tough to get off, but they could get more leverage having the truck on the lift. They used the slip over original type oil filter remover. I just hope they didnt put it back on that tight. I told them to just hand tighten. Cost $35, but had a coupon. Ford ought to be shot for putting the damn filter on that tight.
