Thought I'd go down the spin-on route, however, before I have a go, I presume it's simply a case of removal of the nuts and hose and extracting the bolts from the sump. The conversion has a double thread so is the extraction done by putting the two bolts on a single thread and extracting the bolt that way or is there a tool that I need.

yes take the 2 nuts off the original oil filter housing which is on the block
use 2 nuts to extract the studs, put the 2 new studs in and connect the metal pipe oil pipe to it, take that off the original housing first

Thanks

Thought so, best to check first.

Don't understand 'the conversion has a double thread' ??????? Do you mean - it comes with studs - with threads at each end ? Or something completely different?
Personally - I find the standard filter set-up perfectly satisfactory - and very easy (and cheap) to change the filter! But good luck with the conversion!

yes roy he means the studs have a thread both ends

a good upgrade

Don't think the filtering is any better - but it does eliminate the old chestnut of throwing away the base plate with the old filter!

the new filter is a lot easier and quicker to change, i never had the problem with the base plate my problems was always getting the little rubber seal out which I found was the pain.

Don't bother - the seal can be used over and over again!

I was hoping for the easier and quicker filter change, and yes it would now appear that I misplaced the baseplate at the last service dohhhh.

Thanks for the advice and support.

Ah well - your engine has had no filtering then ! In your case the new filter arrangement will do some good!
