Pretty much. I'd fill it with ATF or some kind of fuel treatment thing though.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it's -
Yep, fill with ATF or Redex before putting it back on and rub a bit of oil around the seal.
Only do it hand tight so theres less swearing when trying to remove it next time

if the old filter is tight, I get round it by slipping the pipes off and up ending it on the bracket - much more get at able
Did I mention I have a BLUE one

i changed mine the other week, dropped off the 2 hoses, clamped the one going to tank, took out filter, put bracket into vice and used a oil filter socket on it, popped of, no hassle,
then rubbed a bit of oil on seal of new filter and filled with redex, and a drop of white spirits, to fill filter as i had no diesel lying around, tightened up filter put back in and connected 2 hoses, cranked the engine and off it went.....
now to do my long put off body lift :PComment

It doesn't need to be very tight, just 'nipped' up by hand.Do you know that, with a 50 character limit, it'sComment
