#235974 TROB (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 nevermind 1 Week, 6 Days ago   i was told by a member on here to use the m1 101 but the hole is too small for the bolt on the bike. Im about to blow up because of having to go to autozone 2 times, and walmart 2 times for 4 different oil filter wrenches in the middle of an oil change, i had limited wrenches so i had to go buy a whole set to get the correct sizes, i forgot the dipstick on the original trip so oil leaked everywhere and now the filter is wrong. so far, im 3 hours into this oil change....and i might just kill myself. but at least ill have all the crap i need for the next one and it will take 20 minutes.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/07 15:59 By TROB.   2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #235975 TROB (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 6 Days ago   maybe im an idiot. its a M1 110 i need.......   Logged     2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236025 greyphart (User) Wonder where that road goes?

Then i redeemed myself and stripped 2 bolts to the float bowl..... will get fixed tomorrow. im in good spirits.   Logged     2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236043 Greysnake (User) Happiness is riding my Road* on a long trip Platinum Boarder Posts: 3864 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 5 Days ago   Well at least you didn't sling the hammer or did you Know exactly how you feel.   Logged     06 Midnight Silverado *nothing shines like a star*   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236048 TROB (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 5 Days ago   no, i didnt end up slingin anything. after the stripped bolts, Tab made me give up for the day. what a relief!   Logged     2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236051 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 4605 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 5 Days ago   The stripped bolts in the float bowel? Were they stripped in the head or did you strip the treads out in the carb body? If it is just the screw driver slots in the head then you can use vice grips to bust them loose. OR like some of the guys do use a dramel tool to cut a slot in the in the head for a flat head screw driver or just cut the head off with a cut off wheel and the rest just unscrews with your fingers once the bowel is off. Good luck buddy don't give up your not the first.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shinny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236056 TROB (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 117 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 5 Days ago   Curt wrote: The stripped bolts in the float bowel?

I cut some nice slots in the tops and tried with the flat head, but they didn't budge and i could tell they were starting to strip even the new slots. I couldnt find my penetrating oil so i have to buy more tomorrow. I think they will come out with the oil.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/11/07 21:16 By TROB.   2007 Road Star BAK Bub Jug Huggers   The administrator has disabled public write access. #236060 smhowse (Moderator) I'm NOT afraid of going fast but, crashing sucks Moderator Posts: 2641 Re:QUICK- Which Mobil 1 oil filter for R*? 1 Week, 5 Days ago   If you cut slots on the heads already, then put your screwdriver in the slot and rap the top of the driver with a hammer while turning. This is like a manual impact driver works every time. Steven   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
