Hi all I'm in the middle of trying to remove the Oil Filter Housing but I'm stuck and need your help desperately. I removed the 3 long bolts in the housing and one short bolt but the housing still wont come off. Am I missing a bolt somewhere? Why wont this thing come off?

Can anyone explain to me how to remove it or point me to a site/thread that has good instructions? I tried searching but didn't come up with any USEFUL answers. PLEASE HELP.
 
Well if you havent got your timing blet cover off then thats your problem, there is a bolt under there and the cover bolts to the housing, so keep working and take your time. p.s brake the 4 water pump pulley bolts loose before taking the belts off it much easier ! my oil filter housind is leaking and i just put it on but mine just needs a new o ring under the cooler part....... hope this helps !
 
Did you really need to post up two identical threads about the same issue in two different sections of the forums? Either pick this one or the one you posted in the Newbie Section (here) and delete the other one. Completely unnecessary.
