Pretty snug. You can get the filter cap off with a regular wrench too. I take the plastic cover off the engine and stick a regular adjustable wrench straight down to grab the cap. A couple twists with the wrench and it's loose enough to take out the rest of the way with my hand. It's not the best approach, but it works. That filter is in a really stupid place. I'm not a fan of the horizontal drain plug either.
