How to unscrew the ring of the diesel filter of a Fiat Panda MultiJet

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Diesel fuel filter

How to unscrew the fuel filter ring of a Fiat Panda MultiJet, without having the appropriate equipment, namely the removal key for the filter? If we are DIY enthusiasts, we surely have some leftover pieces from previous work. Here a piece of timing belt or a piece of V-belt comes to our aid. By tightening this belt around the filter ring, obviously on the side that has the grooves, and tightening it well around it, we can then grab it with a needle-nose pliers, in order to tighten it better, and then turn it without difficulty.
