Yes Mick you are correct it is plastic. Do you have access to any
bigger crow foot type wrenches, that and a long extension may do the
trick. By the way did you remove the safety wire at the bottom to the
case?

1. 09:45 PM - Fw: removing the oil filler tube (Mick Muller)

Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Fw: 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
