Just changed the oil & filter on mines, jeeez, the plug was tight ok, however torqued it back to the proper settings.

Was surprised when according to the manual, it says that the filter should be screwed in untill the sealing ring just contacts the housing surface then tighten a further TWO complete turns using the filter tool.

Re-read it a couple of times (since I have changed thousands in a previous life) but when using the tool, it doesnt feel as bad as it sounds so was a bit more relieved after changing the filter.

:shock: No way :roll:

the other point i alwyas say is never strain a nut or bolt.. alwyas shock the rachet or spanner as this will shear rather that twist.... ok dont do this on soft but it works 9/10 and saves 100s of stripped heads...
