I changed the oil and filter for the first time in my '70 TR6. Who ever
designed the location of the oil filter shell assembly was not friendly
to home mechanics or is sitting somewhere grinning when thinking of us
cursing as we try to remove the shell!!!
As you might gather, the task left me a bit frazzled! I never did get
the shell removed (I wanted to give it a good cleaning and possibly some
paint). Was able to get a new oil filter in, but felt as though I was
working from brail in securing the washers, seals, putting back, etc.
Is there a relatively easy way to remove the entire oil filter assembly?
It appears that the clutch slave cylander would need to be removed and
I can't imagine having to do this each time you change the oil filter.
No way to get it up through the engine bay since the steering column and
frame are in the way?
Any help from experience would be greatly appreciated.
