Do you just get a smaller i.e. shorter (Read possibly less efficient) filter or is there a special tool you use?

I appreciate the help,

I had a simillar problem with my oil filter... older model SPN with a huge filter, couldnt remove it as the frame rail was in the way... longer bolts with 5/8 spacer moved the filter toward the engine just enough to remove it...
