I decided to change the oil & filter today thinking it should be a quick & easy job.
I ended up having the break up the oil filter plastic housing to undo it! It was so tight I could not shift even with a strap wrench or chain wrench. I had a spare one so I have been able to put it back but it was really tight so I think I'll change the whole thing. Has anyone got one I could buy?
Many thanks
Have you just changed the plastic screw in part? If so I wouldnââ,¬â,,¢t change anything else as you have solved the problem. What happens people put them back on with o ring dry and go way over the top tightening them up. If memory serves correct it should only be 15 or 25nm should say on the top.
I have an entire assembly if you do want to change it Ã,£12.50 delivered since its you :)
Hi Mark
Yes Please Could we arrange that. When I put the spare plastic top back in it was really tight and I noticed some of the threads were damaged in the aluminium part so I would rather change it . Let me know how to pay you .
Many thanks
Gary
To damage the ally threads the last person must have swung off a breaker bar tightening that up!
