Some lessons take a while to learn

 

wonder where he puts his gas cap when he refuels.....

 

Not a single post about pulling a "Cowboy Rob" and stabbing the oil filter.

Stab the filter with screw driver and turn. Unless of course you are going to reuse the old filter.

 

 

I just came here to give you your first "thanks" since 2008.

Congratulations.

 

+1 Worked for me.

 

paid for itself? at $154, it would take over 19 oil changes to do that. most guys don't even keep their bikes that long.

 

I bought the above mentioned Rivco but had to grind a flat spot on the outside edge to clear the crank position sensor. The oil cooler on my FLHP moved the filter enough to interfere the wrench with it. Little did I know the previous owner did not tighten the filter and I unscrewed it by hand.

 

Never had one of those stupid nuts actually work for removing a filter,nothing but an useless marketing gimmick.

 

More like 10-12 oil changes if your using a K&N filter, and yes, I took it from my old to newer bike. In addition, there are some advantages to having a reusable stainless filter over a paper, but you already knew that.
