This is a Craftsman. Not sure exactly what it's called. Just big enough to get it over the clamping area of the hoseclamp.

 

i see !!! thank you sir.

i'll question the stealer tomorrow when I buy the new one and see what he recommends.

 

so how much oil u gunna put in there this time LOL

besides the 1 clamp what is the diffuculty level of removal of oil tank?
1-10
thanks alain

 

glad its out

 

About a 6 - 7. Getting everything out of the way is just time consuming.

 

It's too late now, but I bought a 'baster' at the .99 cent store. It has a big rubber thing at the end to squeeze. Almost impossible to drop into the oil bag.

 

Op, for future needs you can get yourself one of these.
It's a manual siphon tool with a 3/8 hose attached, less chance of dropping things inside the oil tank
I've used them on almost everything including oil, gas, antifreeze etc.
Just remember to flush and clean after each use.
Anyway, I've had them for years in my garage. I believe I got the
metal one from an auto parts store.

Knowing the experience you have with doing your own work I would say it would be easy for you Mikey. If I remember correctly it was only 10 bolts I had to remove. 6 bolts that are attached to the oil tank and the four bolts on the fender to be able to slide the fender back and give me some room to work behind the oil tank.

Other than that it's nothing major at all. You don't have to remove the exhaust and the oil lines just unclip and you can still leave them attached to the engine, just move them out of the way. As far as that clamp goes, I didnt replace it with the same type of clamp. I went to the local hardware store and got me a set of hose clamps (the ones that tighten by turning a screw). Gonna be much easier to deal with next time I have to take it off

And believe me, I took my sweet *** time filling the oil bag this time lol. Kept checking and rechecking the oil after I put the first 2 quarts in lolol

I'm gonna to the supermarket and get me one of those turkey basters lol.

 

Greatest tool around.
I was thinking about this tool without even scrolling to the second post. And wallah, there it is lol

Couldnt you have just cracked the oil drain just enough until the amount you needed came out...Instead of sticking something in there...?
Jut saying, im not judging at all.

Glad its out tho.
