Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
The handle on the "KD Tools Universal Oil Filter Wrench" may prevent
its use because there's not enough room around the oil filter.
I found a similar strap/band-type wrench (see below) operated by a
3/8"-drive ratchet extension that looks more promising.

If all else fails, the big Sears screwdriver driven completely thru the
filter works... although a bit messy.

Re: Oil-filter removal (2004 Jeep Liberty)
The one I use the most looks like a cross between a huge pair of water pump
pliers and a T-Rex although I probably have a half dozen other types. It
all depends on the filter placement.
I've done the screwdriver removal several times..... very messy....
The first time I did this I found my replacement filter was the wrong kind
and I had to walk to the auto parts store.... I learned a valuable lesson
that day...
