Oil filter housing bolt.

(1/2) > >>

Bradders:
Afternoon all. Have had a nightmare of a time getting the oil filter housing bolt undone. ( it’s only been on for a year). With regard to fitting the new one on any tips for avoiding the same difficulty in a years time?  Regards, Chris.

Grease/oil the O ring by the head,

Like tappet covers,they don't need to be to tight

On the 750k3, it came with a 1” head on the filter bolt. That’s the biggest I’ve seen. Scarey prospect the damage that could do with some muppet on the other end of the spanner. Thankfully the threads in the crankcase were fine.

Bradders:
Do you think it’s ok to torque it up to the level the manual says, or is that too tight?

Bryanj:
Never ever used a torque wrench, just nippedtight
