I have a couple of questions. I just got a oil feed relocation line for my 92 GSX, so that I will be having my oil fed through the filter housing. I absolutely can not get the allen bolt out of the housing. I sat with a torch on the thing for like 10 minutes and still could not get it to budge. So, rather than risk stripping the bolt I decided that I should just try and take the entire oil filter housing off so that I would be able to get better leverage on the bolt and what-not. What I need to know is how many bolts hold the filter housing up, and where they are at. I searched and couldn't really find a clear answer and also couldn't find it in my haynes manual either. Your fast help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Travis
 
I forget how many there are total, but you will need to pull your crank pulley and your lower t-belt cover to get to all of them. If you are looking at the side of the engine from the driver's side, you can see all of them (assuming you have the tbelt cover off)
 
on a 91 there are 4 bolts that hold the housing on. you should remove the t.belt cover and you will see them.
