Get a "Topsider" or similar oil extraction device from a boating supplier like West Marine. The filters come out easily, it should be hand tight. You may need a wrench to start the filter turning. A large adjustable wrench will do for that. Done carefully this is a white coat job. No mess at all. The toughest part is separating the oil filter cartridge from the cap. Do that in a plastic bag to prevent spills.

Oh, yeah. Loosen the filter first to allow the oil trapped in the filter area to drain back. Then start the suction.
