Title: HELP!! I need to get the new type oil filter off
Post by: Elitenut on 18 June 2009, 13:35:02

Could somebody please tell me how to remove the new type oil filter container?
 I need to remove the pipes to the oil cooler.

I have managed to remove the outer cover and filter.
What is the casing held on the block with?
What tools do need to get it off with?

Thanks Mark for your quick reply.
Have you got any idea of the sizes they might be?
I need to go and borrow the suitable tools from work.

Thanks for the replies, I've got it off. Found a 12mm allen key in my late fathers tool box.
