you might work out a way, but I can't really see it being easy at all, it's kind of flush / level with the bottom of the sump and stuff close by stops you getting a chain wrench or similar on it. plus you don't want to damage it because it needs to go back on (plastic housing and replacement paper filter)
If you were near I'd just lend you mine but that's a 3 or 4 hour drive lol
they're not expensive

mine was an aftermarket thing and the fit was a bit loose which actually wasn't a bad thing because instead of overtightening it just slipped round a bit and jammed up so i had to wiggle it to get it off. rather that though than knackering the thread I suppose
