Dismantling oil filter bolt

(1/4) > >>

exvalvesetdabbler:
I was just wondering if theres a wrong way to dismantle the oil filter bolt. It's one of those aftermarket ones with the larger hex. Been on the bike all the time I have had it. It's on my to do list for the next batch of zinc plating.

It looks like a case of compressing the spring and tapping out the roll pin?  Then spending the rest of the day looking for the bits that flew off into a dark corner.

Best regards
Dave

I'll be watching with interest, I may soon be doing it myself.

Did exactly same thing on my CX500 oil filter bolt although it went for cerakoting rather than zincing.
Yep, just tap out the roll pin. I just surrounded mine with a rag just in case of mass ejections.

Went back together dead easy also.

Johnwebley:
Why??

Just give a good clean, Using a brake/clutch cleaner and polish the head

The rest is hidden

Because it wasn’t hidden.

And…… even if it was hidden, I would still do the same.

We all have our ‘isms and some ‘isms may differ from yours.


Apologies for starting a sentence with both Because and And! I will self flagellate later 😬
