CB550 Oil Filter Bolt Removal

[Johnwebley]

Can I suggest when you fit the replacement, make sure you don't over tighten it,

Good point John, most folk overtighten canister oil filter by hand often needing a chain grip tool to remove them.

I try to use the lower torque reading given or just by feel as the O ring becomes compressed.

I fitted this one 15420-300-020P a Honda part iirc 17 mm head listed for the CBX1000 that fits the 500/550 etc

I think it differs from the original as it has a bigger bolt head - not sure if its Chromed or something like BZP.
Some of the cheaper aftermarket ones do not have as many holes in the center section.

Perfect, thanks! I now have a new challenge and have made a new post - cant seem to remove the rocker housing now! Cheers. Mike

As interesting alternative Ted

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390062925510 these are flank drive and very low profile ratchet head for access.

Another point for interest (I've already had an alternative manufacturer set like this) is that they make extremely good plug spanner setup for these 4 cylinder Honda engines, with the "pass through " arrangement being able to use the extension and a socket to drop over the plug .... being hollow, both item ... to make very useful reach and access for those two central plugs.

You'd need to check that plug facility yourself though as mine is a different make (now not available) Bahco also owned by SO too.

I have a cheaper Bahco set it was about £20 back in 2021 not sure why this one is so much more expensive.
Not sure what they/yoou  mean by "pass through" ?

Both the socket and it's drive are hollow Ted.

Describing my set ... the sockets are driven by external hex (19mm think ) rather than 3/8 etc square, with the extension bar hollow too.

Think they were originally for "stud" work so you could slide the assembly over long bolts rather than need "deep" sockets.

Coincidentally, they can be arranged to make very competent plug spanner (plug top just goes inside the extension bar) and seem to fit into various cylinder head recesses easily, while not having too high bulk around head to prevent competent alignment etc.

By no means essential, but do work in quite severely restricted installation .... in some cases.

Mine also with "Swan neck" gentle curve in ratchet handle that gives very shallow stack height, guess low profile would be good description, but also flips over to place the handle up or down in relation to surrounding frame bits etc.

Thanks for that.

At the cheap end of the spectrum I got this  set for £12 and it’s worked fine the few times I’ve used it.

Seeing those David  reminded me of when a locking wheel nut on amy old Carlton stripped out.
At the time circa 1990 I ended up using a cold chisel to eventually get the nut to free off.

Those are based on Metrinch sockets, gripping on the flat sides of nuts, will also fit metric and imperial nut sizes in one set.
