Posted: Thu Jul 31, 2008 7:24 pm Post subject: filter adapter

I bought the 90 deg filter adapter with 1.5" spacer from vans and not having a good day installing.



First I have to remove one of the original oil filter mounting  studs and tried the "jam nuts" method  of removal (two nuts tightened against each other) without success, but I was successful in twisting half the stud off.



Now I'm going to have to purchase an angle drill and use a bolt extractor.  Sure hope this method works, sure hate to have to remove the engine.  Any one provide any encouraging words on this exercise? 



Secondly, the adapter + spacing isn't a perfect fit.  Looks like at least the breather tube has to be removed to remove the oil filter, hopefully the oil cooler hose can be pushed out of the way.  Has anyone else noticed this who installed the oil filter adapter?



Not sure it's worth the effort.
