HI all,
15 min job ended up in a mess, its 2 am here and i will have to leave the bike overnight with no oil.
1) i didn't screw it in, a mechanic did :s
If this ever got off, i'll not screw it that way, i read enough about it.
2) i tried unscrewing by hand > by grip gloves> sand paper 80 grits and grip gloves> then tried the screw driver > tried all methods again !!!!
Tired with bike on center stand, side kick, and even i put it on the side on the frame sliders.
So now, i ended up with screwed up filter i can't get off.
got a track day in 2 days and need to do it quickly. please help
What do you suggest????
I can run to hardware store and get the filter wrench the one with strap, will it work or crush it more. it is already fcuked up.
I'm afraid to try more and rip it off, what do you think? if it is ripped off can i do it totally off and install new one?
i don't want to tow my bike to garage for this.
Please help.
