Oil filter wrench

[evomind]

Does anyone have a link or something to an oil filter wrench for the R18?
Maybe something off of Amazon or something?
Thanks

All I can say is "good luck" the one I use for my 'Chrome Head' didn't fit, I ended up being able to grab it, cave it in a bit and then twisting it out with a bit set of pliers. I switched to this K&N filter ... that one has a hex on it for a wrench and is super convenient ... IMO

That's what I was gonna do once I got the OEM one out.
Do you know the compatible K and N part number?
Thanks guys

Looks like Dennis Kirk has that filter wrench and so does eBay.
I have some time before I actually need it.
Thanks

I use a similar one on my Shovelhead I really like them ... washable filter (wash with gas) and some magnets to catch metal particles ... I hope I never need them on that beemer ... they sure came in handy before on the Shovel

You can click on the word K&N in my post and it brings you to Amazon ... the filter number from K&N is KN-164

Probably wont need it the first time but what size crush washer do I use?

Speaking for me ... I clean up the old one and re-use it ... haven't had a leak yet

You can do that once or maybe twice but eventually you will want to replace it.

Yup ... MAX BMW has them listed at $1.86 and calls them 16x20mm (I assume inside vs outside diameter) here is a link to the parts fiche LINK HERE check Diagram #02_0294 ...
