Oil change earlier today . . . went to undo alloy cap & housing started to move with it.
Got a "massive" pair of water pump type pliers on it with a second pair of hands & off camre the cap
The housing was then free to revolve . . .not good me thinks . . . so used the usual 12mm allen key adaptor to remove it & have a good look.
My question is . . should there be some kind of stop cast into the housing to stop it spinning?
With it off . . there was nothing obvious & also nothing broken off that I could see.
So on re fitting does the housing go on in a certain position regarding revolving . . .meaning do any holes have to line up with anything in the block?
I seem to recall there should be some sort of "stop" that locates the housing in the correct position.
Or I am I getting confused with something else?
any advice appriciated
I have just put it back on & tightened the allen bolt in the centre very tight , fitted filter & re tourqed cap to 15nm
