Service manual calls for a 74mm filter wrench

Hope this saves you some hard-earned $$
Is it a dual step 74 - 76mm filter wrench? Because the service manual specifies a 74mm wrench for the oil filter for model years 1997 - 2004. I would think a 76mm would be a little loose and could eventually chewup the stupid plastic filter housing.
