because unless you have small hands, they are in a mongrel place to get to, and iI have had them get stuck and theres next to no room for a clamp of any kind to get a good grip

Mount it the lowest point you can, so that the oil can actually drain out of the lines/oil cooler when you pull the filter to do an oil change. I've mounted mine on the drivers side chassis rail at the front near the tow hook. No chance of it being hit from anything there either as the lowest point of the filter is above the chassis rail.
