Hi People

I need to remove the centrifugal filter housing from my TD5 to helicoil the threads for dome cover. Does anyone know if there is a gasket or O ring behind it. R
 
mine may end up like that it looks awkward to remove! I wish I could get hold of the monkey who serviced it last I had to use a two foot knuckle bar to get sump plug out
 
I screwed long bolts up from the bottom while mines was off araldited them in and use nylon nuts on top to hold cover down and cut threads down so just enough for nylon to grip

The problem is people use the bolts to pull the lid down tight and the threads aren't strong enough for that sort of abuse. It is held on by three bolts, and is only awkward if you have air con, not impossible though.

not hard to remove ...you will one day need to remove it for an oil cooler reason .... its only 4 bolts that holds the air con compressor and move this to one side you will see the bigger picture and then realise how easy its to remove the oil spinner

some people forget this is a serviceable item with ally threads and due the course of the thread it doesnt take much to strip due the fact they never got anti seized from factory either

it funny because i service my own for many years
i only give a slight nip on a short handle using 3/8 drive ratchet
and then i need a 1/2 inch drive to remove the sump plug ?
we have two different types metal reacting to different temps and this relates to distortion
using a knuckle bar on an angle doesnt help also as you loose torque more effort is needed
