MessageAndy,
The Tiger remote adapter has always been a problem. Those of us who =
have wrestled with it for years have developed their own techniques for =
dealing with it. Follow Ron=E2=80=99s advice re. splits, cuts, etc. =
Also, degrease the filter before you attempt to reinstall. You may have =
to hold the filter so that it doesn=E2=80=99t turn and you can=E2=80=99t =
do that if it=E2=80=99s covered with oil. For the big bolt you referred =
to I use a 1 1/2=E2=80=9D socket. The socket was made for a =
3/4=E2=80=9D drive so I use a 3/4 =E2=80=93 1/2=E2=80=9D adapter so I =
can use the socket with my 1/2=E2=80=9D drive. The adapter also forms a =
short extension so the drive clears most of the stuff under the hood =
when you swing it. I wedge a small 2x4 block between the adapter top =
and the block to keep the adapter from turning. If you have under-hood =
paint issues you may want to wrap the 2X4 in a rag. In tightening the =
big bolt, recall that the filter is actually a spin-on filter. =
Instructions for the filter say to snug the filter up and then give it =
3/4 to 1 turn to tighten it. Basically you want to do the equivalent =
but with the filter fixed and the bolt that screws into the filter =
turning 1 turn. After snugging the bolt into the filter, make 1 turn on =
the bolt to tighten it. You may have to hold on to the filter to keep =
it from turning while you do this. It will take multiple swings of the =
ratchet to accomplish this 1 turn. You should note the position of some =
part of the socket relative to the adapter body and ratchet the socket =
around until the socket reaches that position again (i.e. makes 1 =
revolution). That should take care of the big bolt. For the tube =
fitting that goes into the center of the adapter I use a 3/4=E2=80=9D =
flair nut (tubing) crowsfoot adapter for a 3/8=E2=80=9D drive and turn =
it with a short 3/8=E2=80=9D breaker bar with a swivel connection on the =
end. This combo is probably overkill but it does create an almost ideal =
tool for the job. You=E2=80=99ll have to figure out what works for you. =
Whatever scheme you come up with for dealing with this fitting, I would =
recommend that you not use an open end wrench for the job. Every time =
the wrench slips it will round the flats on the fitting. Eventually you =
will not be able to get it tight.
-Good luck..

Andy
The fittings should tighten and not leak.
You should check to make sure you have not split or cut the washers.
Check to make sure the metal surfaces are flat for the gaskets.
You should also check the big bolt at top is not bottoming out too soon. =
Install it without the washer to make sure it does not stop short of =
the metal adaptor.
I believe those are fiber washers; maybe copper washers would work =
better.(?)
1.410" =3D 35.8 mm
A 38 mm socket may work OK.
The correct wrenches would be line wrenches or crowfoot line wrenches.
You would have to make your own 1.41" wrench. Do you know anyone with a =
water jet cutter?
A water jet or laser cutting machine could make a special tool to fit =
this job.

Subject: [Tigers] Stock oil filter set up leaks
Hey, guys:
=20
First, the good news=E2=80=A6I=E2=80=99ve got 60 lbs of pressure on =
the gauge when I spin up my oil pump with my electric drill. For a =
stock oil pump, that=E2=80=99s great!! That means that when I fire up =
my Tiger for the first time on Sunday (hopefully=E2=80=A6) that I should =
have oil pressure running out my ears=E2=80=A6which leads me to the bad =
news. I=E2=80=99ve got a couple of oil leaks in the stock oil filter =
set-up, one of which is pretty bad. The bad one is at the connection on =
top of the oil filter where the big bolt is that holds the filter to the =
housing. The gasket is allowing the oil to just run out at a pretty =
good clip. I=E2=80=99ve got that bolt twisted down pretty tightly but =
it continues to leak. This is the first time that I=E2=80=99ve ever had =
an original oil filter set-up on a Tiger, so I=E2=80=99m unfamiliar with =
their oddities; are you supposed to use some sort of gasket sealer on =
that gasket between the shoulders of the bolt and the housing? Is this =
a common problem with these stock filter rigs?
=20
The other leak is at the connection point between the short hose and =
the block adapter. Hopefully, I=E2=80=99ll be able to tighten it up a =
bit and stop the leak, but the leak I mentioned above is so bad that =
there is no way that I can start the car before fixing it. Any advice =
on how to properly seal that would be greatly appreciated.
=20
Oh, and by the way, I don=E2=80=99t have a proper-sized wrench for the =
oil filter bolt in question. I mic=E2=80=99d it as best I could and it =
comes out to be something like a 1.410=E2=80=9D in size. All =
I=E2=80=99ve got that is big enough to do the job is an adjustable =
wrench, and even that is so long that I have to stand it up and grab the =
shoulders of the bolt with the ends of the jaws of the wrench. What do =
you guys use on yours?
=20
Thanks much,
Andy Walker
Edmond, OK
