I like that idea. Sure beats knocking a screw driver thru the filter.

We have seen that attempted many years back on this bike, and the results were very poor... the filter tore completely apart, and then required a lot of cuss words to get it off the bike... my best offerering for filter removal is that simple screw and cup answer... it really works... it was only done one time because I had to test the TS manual's torque.... and regretted it, reporting it at the time...

Thanks to all for that info, not that I understood a damn thing that was said.  I thought that you just drew arrows on your screen, and they stayed there.  Well, not really, but again, thanks.  tomp

The photos were edited to add the arrows, I could have added text baloons also, with Irfanview. Didn't tho.

Thanks, downloaded it and will play with it later. Have used Fast Stone Image Viewer for years, but another source can't be bad to have too.  Thanks, tp

I always use a plier-type (teeth) wrench from Griot's Garage, and has never failed me so far. When it's tight like with the Connie, progress might be slow until loose enough to remove by hand, but doesn't take more than a minute. And yes, the first time it's going to be a b*tch. After that, if you just hand-tighten them (which is what I have always done for decades with zero issues), it's much easier to break them loose.

Kicked over my beer last night while changing the oil.  Not happy.

Was it real beer or something like Coors lite?    ;)

In that case, a moment of silence is in order...

No silence when it happened.  My grandson got an education in swearing.

  Alcolhol abuse. :battle:

That is always one of the struggles with working and drinking.  Where does one put the beer so it's within reach, but not liable to be kicked over.  I sense the need for an invention.
