Anyone here replace the Oil filter housing?
 

can someone here that replaced the oil filter housing give me any pointers that i should be aware of?

mine is cracked and i just want to make sure that i install the new one correctly.

Thanks for any positive info {thumbup}

Make sure the gasket surface is clean and then go. A couple of bolts and you are done.

thank you for responding

Is a new gasket necessary? Or can I reuse the ole one?

thanks

Get a new gasket when you buy the housing. I'm pretty sure the oil thermostat is in the housing too so you may need to transfer that to the new part. Also, be sure to get new crush washers for the banjo bolts that to to the oil cooler lines. It's literally three bolts that hold it on, and two big 22mm bolts for the oil cooler.

Thanks for the response, I'm buying that stuff tomorrow then

just got the new housing yesterday
does anyone know the tq specs on the bolts?

Thankx everyone for the reply :beer:

I just started yesterday trying to remove it, I found one bolt on passenger side, it got loose but doesnt come out. How do I remove it and where is the other bolt?
