Mine won't budge,  >:( it's soaking in WD40 just now in case that helps. Before I go and burst a blood vessel or strip the thread first.....it does undo by turning counter-clockwise like most bolts do?Might be the daft question of the month, maybe not,  :-\ but I'm getting paranoid lol!

Bryanj:
Yes it does, put a good fitting socket on the hex and hit the end with a hammer. Is it the 12mm hex original or a 17mm aftermarket?

17 mm from DSS....

Try to tighten it first just a smidge (that's a technical term) as this sometimes helps to break any corrosion that may be on the threads. Years ago I had to saw through the filter housing to get it off after the 12mm bolt siezed solid and would not come off no matter what I did although if I had a mig welder I would have welded a socket to the nut flange to remove it.

So it only siezed at the surface? I'm mostly worried because it looks to me it screws into a crankcase also?
