@ImNotGas You need to create an angular and a straight 19 mm wrench, both with an open ring of about 9mm to get your specially made tool over the injection lines.

I have a German diesel and in order to get the oil filter out you have to use a 32mm socket. Hahaha

@{CAP}Radeon africa tip, if you have no tool and need the oil filder out, use a scarf and some sort of rod.

like a tourniquet

@Zuluzeit the better to understand imo

@Darkangael, you just advanced to level 7!

Or kick it?

or just leave it over night, and only the frame will be left. You can easily access where the filter once was.

That’s usually the preferred method, apparently

I Kidd, lol but In all reality, getting the filter unscrewed and then maneuvering it through all the coolant and electrical lines is rough.

you need a womans hand, my lord!

Especially if you don’t want oil all over everything and you and I know diesel oil is really dirty!

I hope everyone enjoyed the diesel repair tips that are useless for every sane person that doesnt keep a diesel truck as a personal vehicle

Beat the Steering Wheel may be a close Second...

Mine is a car

This is my go-to

am i the only person here who doesnt have frequent breakdowns?

And it gets close to 50 miles per gallon.

Apparently, yes

Mechanical or Emotional?

hahaha!

Ever since I wasn’t 20 years old I don’t often have breakdowns..

@Doc knows all about a woman having a breakdown! 🙈😂

I rarely break down but when I do the dance is hopping lol🤸‍♀️

yeah i stopped driving a junker once i got out of college

Oh man, I do for sure!!! Every time I turn around I’m having to remind my wife the car won’t start in drive!

@Beth "They arent useful untill they have been at the crisis centre at least twice" my father used to say.

Hahaha

That’s a good one

Ok @Doc what are you driving?

I don't suppose I've had that problem recently, but I used to all the time.... I can't count how many times I called my dad to pick me up on the side of the road because the car 'broke'.... lol

then again...he died many years later, slowly dissolving in his own pee

@{CAP}Radeon I restore cars as a hobby.

So you don’t drive a diesel?

I hve an A6, a Tahoe, a Jeep, a G30 and looking for my next baby. Either a Bentley or an AM to celebrate Brexit.

ya, my G30 is 6.2 and the tahoe has the 6.5 TD

i havent experienced much besides carbeurator or radiator issues

@{CAP}Radeon The Hummer 6.5 is a combination of the two

You drive a vehicle that has mechanical fuel delivery?

I suggest Antacid.

in college i did
