Anyone ever taken off the oil filter pedastal? How hard is it to do? I've found a few posts that say there's 2 10mm bolts that hold it on, can't seem to find them on the pedastal. Can the pedastal be removed while the engine is still in the car? Or are these couple of bolts something that cannot be reached easily?

 

the bolts are on the underside of it. One of them also holds a clip or something, looking for that may help you out. You can get the pedestal off w/o removing the engine, you just need a small 10mm wrench, and some bandaids for the cuts you'll get on your knuckles.

I may have a pic of this, lemme look (the pedestal, not my knuckles).

edit: here ya go, ripped straight from the FSM.

 

here are some pics..

 

Hey, thanks Strickland. Yeah, if you have a picture that would be great, maybe then I could get a better look at where the bolts go. So when you say underside, do you mean on the engine block?

 

Thanks alot Hobo!
