OReilly's offers a stamped steel cupped shaped tool for removing the cartridge cover. It's around $8, works fine. Am no longer a big O'Reilly's fan, but they do stock Wix filters and this tool.
I bought a stamped tool just like that from the Toyota dealer, and always had the hardest time getting the damn thing off the cover. The last time I tried, it wouldn't budge, so I just left it on there. Of course, it fell off sometime when she was driving. The U-shaped tool works much better if anyone else had that problem.
