Oil Filter Cap Broken
While doing my first oil change on my Camaro yesterday, the 24 mm head snapped off the oil filter cap while trying to remove it. Anyone have any good suggestions on how to now remove the cap with nothing to hook a wrench to? I tried a strap wrench but the rounded shoulder of the cap let the strap just slide up and over the top. Thanks in advance!

Update
Pipe wrench did the trick after removing the air box to get a little elbow room. Now the question becomes how much is a new one going to cost me?
