Hey uhm. A little nudge please?

[FJRider]

Just a plate, with rubber oring sealing it against the casing... Dont be hamfisted in removing the nuts or you will regret it

Same goes for the drain bolt, dont go overboard when doing it up

DONT lose or damage that O ring, use correct socket (with long extension). It should be done with the engine warm... more oil comes out, but be careful of hot exaust...hence long extension on socket...

I had this experience once with brake calipers on a mountain bike
200 dollars and a new set of disc brakes later... Ha ha. But not really ha ha, you know?!

From memory, it's a spring-loaded plate, with an internal filter that can be removed at the right angle lol.

Oh true gotcha. Are you looking to do it ASAP or would next week be all good? Wanna get a few more hundred k's done before the oil change

As I am unsure of the previous owners last service, it has gone >7,500k's since its last oil service . A couple hundred more wont hurt I guess!

im on the shore mate (glenfield) i can come give you a hand if u want

Sure man, if you want to come have a laugh, all good!

Good call

You can come have a laugh too I'm guessing you're somewhere fun like, south of the Harbour Bridge?

Lol make that 50k south of the Harbour Bridge. If you and the Master can sort out a time to do it then all good, if nothing works out then gimme a yell!

Yeah, the guy at the bike shop said be fucking careful with it.
Perhaps a damp cloth covering the headers would do nicely. A buffer, if you will.

Perhaps using Auckland/North Shore in the future would be a tad easier for some people
If I can't, I'll give ya a yell, saddle up and attempt my way down

ah yeah, you better get someone to demonstrate it for you, and make sure you have the correct tools. After seeing it done you can easily do it yourself. No, a six inch crescent is not the proper tool to do it.

There must be a "workshop evening" somewhere near you. If not, that would be a good thing for someone to host. I'm happy to show people stuff in the BoP.

Warm the engine not cook it. A few minutes idleing would usually suffice... some drop the headers down, to reduce the risk of getting burnt...

Well I at least put a packer in between the pistons before I moved them around, put the new pads in and then screwed them back into their brackets. I just didn't know I was forcing them back into their holes and rooting them!
Apparently there was a little nib I could release excess pressure from...
My rule of thumb is get someone to do it first, unless it's changing a headlight, then when it's needed again, I'll do it. A workshop evening sounds like a pretty cool idea.

Birkdale/Glenfield/Right next to the Harbour bridge etc.
Sounds like it just could be!

Mate, if you need a hand, i'm in Birkenhead with a good garage, and plenty of tools. Always happy to lend a hand.

Ah, you must have been the one TOTO left a message with on Friday!
If you have the time, and I'm not intruding...

Yeah, that's me. I was down in Wellington. He happened to call me while I was on the plane. Something about being stuck behind a chain?

Dunno. Damn foreigners. Drop me a PM, i'll let you know my cell number.

[SARGE]

Perhaps reference to the workshop manual for the machine might clarify matters?
