buy a new motor! j/k

try to cool the filter itself..it should shrink it enough to come off... or just slowly break it up... thats a lot messier but it sounds like he didnt lube the seal prior to putting it on, so the gasket may be melted to the block..try taking some fine metal cable.. kinda like floss to cut/break the seal from the rubber gasket to the block...

take a break from it and look at it in 15 mins... sometimes i get so wrapped up in doing something i miss the obvious.
