CB550 Oil Filter Bolt Removal

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

I have the standard Bahco 1/4 drive set that someone here recommended a great little set.

Bahco/SO/Blue Point group appear to have cornered the market.

Victory is mine! The bolt extractor sockets didnt work although a great purchase for future use. Eventually I had to opt for cold chisel and the big hammer - thank goodness for the flange under the bolt head.

Well done. Victory!

Good for you,

The idea of the small head, is to stop it being tightened to much,

I also grease the O ring under the head to prevent it sticking/corroding

Check for the washer between the spring and the oil filter. Often stuck to the oil filter and often accidentally binned. I have 3 engines here and none of them had the washer.

BTW mine are 400s, I imagine yours has a similar washer.

Yes, the 500 has them
Fit between filter and spring

Nope - no washer on the one I removed. Spring, yes. Washer, nope.

A lot of owners throw the washer out with the old filter, over the padt 3 weeks, I've sold 15 of them from my Ebay page 😂😂😂

Well done  Mike - very satisfying to overcome such problems

Great feeling. Good job

Very surprised the stud extractor did not work. Did you use the one size smaller than the one that fit and tap it on?

Yes and it just tore off some of the remaining metal but there was just a small nub left.

Still I’m sure they will come in useful in the future

You must be chuffed.
What replacement bolt will you be using? There are non OEM bolts with a larger hex. Less change to get mangled.

Thanks Jan! Yes chuffed but more relieved that I got it out OK. I havent yet thought about what replacement but a good call that some have larger bolt heads. I will also need the washer that goes between the spring and oil filter. It was either never there or I threw it out with the old (ancient) oil filter I removed. I did have a dig through the bin but didnt find anything.

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.
