Hi all,

Had a good search and lots of info about the other models, but how do you actually get the filter out ?

Its unscrewed but I cant get it down for the front prop, is there something Im missing

thanks in advance

Rich

you need to slide it back it should drop through as you slide it along the torsion bar

Cheers Grandad, what a bu66er that was. Much easier putting the Boshi filter back in, the old one was a pig, had to deform it to get it past the torsion bar.

Thanks again, at least I know which brand to stick to!

if you use the slim one that is the same as a 3.0 it is very easy to remove and refit ,milners didnt know that the 3.0 one fit until i told them the other week when i was up there getting some new filters

It seems different manufacturers make them slightly differently anyway. Ive heard the Fram ones can also be tighter. not really a snag taking it off but you dont really want to be bashing a new one.

Strange this one, so many seem to struggle with these filters. I'm using Fram filters and whilst it's tight it's certainly not a problem.

Not used one, just going by what Ive read. Cant be any tighter than the one I took off though, no way I could have doen that to a new filter, I did wonder how they got it in without unbolting stuff.

Big thumbsup for Milners Boshi filter though, piece of cake.

I've used a hammer and screwdriver to get the oil filter out as I could not get enough leverage with a filter wrench

I use a filter cup now. I had one of the three leg wrenches but it only worked one way.

Why dose milner list 2 filters for the 3.1 a 5" for the manuel and a 6.5" for the auto? is it ok to fit the smaller one to the auto

They are both interchangable IIRC.
