Oil filter cover bolt seized

<< < (3/4) > >>

Having seen the state of that filter it might be a good move to drop the sump, clean it out togther with the oil strainer.  Quite easy to do with the aid of a 3/8th drive socket.

Did you find the spring and flat washer inside the filter housing? If not seems a good time to order from DS

Hi Bryanj,
There was a spring in the housing but not a washer. Also the sequence of assembly was different to the diagram on th CMSNL website. On mine the spring was the last component on the bolt at the threaded end.
I've had many items already from DS, (I'm hoping to be on their Christmas card list this year. :)) and running 3 bikes on a reducing pension is a bit of a struggle, but I'll bear your advice in mind.
Thanks.

Here's the refurbished bolt with a light coat of Chrome paint ready for fitting later today.
I built up the butchered flange and corners of the head by oxy-acetylene welding and reshaped the head.
