Hey,
I always find that if you tighten the filter up gently, and only "finger tight" then you can always remove the filter by hand. Since the rubber seal expands with heat (or contact with oil?), it never leaks. Always put a bit of oil on the seal when you do it up, too. This stops the seal from deforming when you tighten it. Usual disclaimers apply :) Cheers, Alex. --- In [email protected], "James Peters" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I know the grip you mean :P Thats what i ended up doing was whacking > the king size flat-head srewdriver the filter to get the mofo off ;) > Just tigthened up by hand with a few extra turns and all is sweet. > Another thing i'll reccomend is Motul 15w50 Power shuts those lifters > right up !!!!
