Best to get the lid off now its broken then you need a 12mm allen key to remove the hollow bolt in the base of the filter body, would not advise unscrewing the filter body, as there is a flange which locates the filter on the block and you could finish up damageing the block or loseing bits of broken flange in the engine.
