| Subject: | Re: Rotax 914 Oil Change |
Hi All.
Today armed with my new tool box i completed the Oil and Filter change also
Air filter.
Things did not go as planned.
I found the Drain Plug was a 19mm Hex plug and not a magnetic plug,?
My new Torque wrench has a 1/4" square head, and my 19mm socket is 1/2" and there
was no reducer in the tool box, so ended up guessing 25nm of torque,?
Tried to undo the Oil Filter by Hand, then used a filter strap tool which ended
up with the strap breaking , Finally had to use a grip wrench this pieced the
filter with oil running out and i finally managed to slowly unscrew the filter,
replaced with a new one which i had placed a large jubilee clip around it so
as to wire lock it, Don,t think it needs it after the trouble i had removing
it,!!!!
Now the Magnetic Gear box Plug, was unsure of its location, but noted a wire locked
nut, just above the oil filter, since have confirmed this is correct. However
i did not touch it.
It has a type of Allen /Torx screw, and i bet its never been removed.
I have all new oil in the engine and no leaks,
Can i have a go at removing this Gearbox plug, its probably going to be difficult,
What tool do i need, and if i can,t move it , what do i do.?? Hot , Cold,
?????? Releasing agent,???
As for the Oil tank magnetic plug, On the market i have seen a magnetic clamp that
goes on the side of the filter bowl, "the magnets are so strong you can not
pull it off by hand"
the magnets are directional and Shielded on the outside, expensive at about 70
Has anybody used them.
Alan

On the bottom of the oil tanki? That is correct. not magnetic

Don't guess or you'll end up breaking things. Get the proper tools before taking
on this task the next time.

When you do remove it, replace it with the new-style plug. No more worries about
torx heads stripping. And yes, check this magnetic plug each time you change
the oil.

Why do you want to remove this?
>As for the Oil tank magnetic plug, On the market i have seen a magnetic clamp

Why? Not needed. The engine has a magnetic plug built in.
Bottom line: Read the maintenance manual. The procedures are well documented. ALWAYS
have the correct tool, including torque wrench. Use the proper torques.
As someone else suggested, get all the info from rotax-owner.com.
