Well my hands aren't that big, so I wear gloves that have like a rubbery grippy material on palm and finger areas so I can get a good bite on the spin-off filter and usually do that one by hand. The cent. filter is easier than that one, but I do have a bad habit of dropping the screws, so it takes probably more time to find them than it does to do the job. 😉Quote:

Would love to know how you replace the centrifugal filter without taking the lid off...:angel:Quote:

My local radiator fixeruperer warned me initially that alloy tanks tended to be brittle so I decided to go back to my trusty old (still sitting being stripped slowly) girl and nick the almost new radiator out of that.;)
While I am at it, C/O the thermostat, the trans oil cooler (new one leaking) and the fan. All the old ones are known good.
Trouble is I'm working outside, temps low to mid 40s for a while to come.:(
As I'm this far under the bonnet I might just pull the NEW alternator of the old girl and keep it as a spare.:D
Actually, working outside is probably better than in a shed as I am in the shade most of the day from a couple of gum trees.:D
Right now, middle of the day I'm being a Mexican, a little in the air conditioned house for a siesta, oh it's a hard life.:cool:
Till we meet again

Your mate Kermit isn't much use in helping you, he's snoozing on the dash;)Quote:
