| Subject: | removing the oil filler tube |
Howdy all. I have a Lycoming O-320 E3D engine that I am installing in an
RV9A. I am trying to remove the baffles. There is one screw that sits right
behind the oil filler tube. To get to this screw I am going to have to take
off the oil filler tube, which on this engine is plastic. I presume that
this is a normal right hand thread and not left hand. I cannot get a
spanner or wrench onto the bottom of the tube, but there is a "nut" about
half up the tube. All my efforts so far have only succeeded in deforming the
tube and the wrench slipping off. I am too scared of cracking this tube to
grip it with vice grips, does anyone have a solution to this problem??
Thanks,
Mick
