For me taking the rear caliper off and rotating it so the bleed nipple was higher helped dramatically, to stop the pads touching I just used a thin spanner as a faux brake disk. If it's the front brake I used the bleed nipple on the master cylinder with good results, apologies if you've tried these.

Finally managed to remove my stuck oil filter!
I'll try and add some pics but basically I got the outside of the filter squeaky clean, wrapped it with masking tape until the tool almost wouldn't fit, then rubber malleted the tool on, and prayed. I couldn't find the old car wheel tool I use as an extension, so went bling with an old carbon seat post.
Judicial use of plusgas may have helped too.
One step forward, one step back... I replaced the brake fluid. Unfortunately my braking is worse than it was. It may have been an error to do it on my sloped drive. I've wrapped a band around my brake lever to see if that helps to get rid of some air bubbles.
Any other ideas?
