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.
taysidedragon:
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.
