Remove tii oil filter mount

[Andy74tii]

I am trying to get enough room to drill out my broken alternator bolt, and it seems like I will have better access if I remove the oil filter mount housing. Already removed the battery, alternator, air filter, etc.

Is there any trick to this, as long as the oil is drained, and oil filter off? Is it just a matter of removing bolts?

Thanks,

Easy to do just remove the oil line to the KF and remove the three bolts. Good luck. G

There should also be 2 6mm bolts holding the injection pump support bracket to the filter housing (kind of tucked up under the pump and hard to see from above) on top of the 3 8mm bolts holding the filter housing to the block

Sorry for the enthusiasm, but it's such a great thing when something works well! I was using a 1/8" left hand bit, which was somewhat dull, and made almost no progress with my ryobi right angle cordless drill. I stopped in at Ace Hardware 3 mins before they closed and bought a new LH 1/8 drill. I bore into it, and about3 seconds later, the broken bolt backs out slicker than s**t!!! What a victory!!

Congrats for staying with it and doing it the right way vs. leaving it in there and band-aiding.
