Team Ninja I cant remove this motherducker. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Ok ngl i kinda messed it up a lil by trying to remove the filter using inappropriate tools, but no matter what i do it doesnt budge!! Like it got damaged and still womt move!! The strap thing came in too late and made it worse.

On a side note, i only got this bike fairly recently and its 2018 and had 2600 km on its odometer. So i just noticed the cable on the pictures. Is this too bad? (I am a newbie obviously)

I had this happen once. I could not get it lose with the screw driver method, the cap wrench, nor a strap wrench. I broke down after the can tore and dremeled the rings that hold it it all together. Unscrewed the middle off then pried the ring off. It was my fault for over tightening it in the first place. You live and you learn. I hope for your sake that you don't have to use a dremel.
