Remove the oil dispenser, crank housing ventilation

Post by MartinP » Sun Feb 24, 2008 5:10 pm

Hi everyone,

The thing should be simple. Twist it and drag it out, but it just refuses to come off. The best tool I could find was a pipe wrench and even that won't do any good. It just scratches the surface. I remember it got it off about a year ago with almost no effort at all, but now its rock solid.
I need to remove it because it's broken and lets oil through which ends up in the inlet manifold.

How do I get this thing off?

Thanks!

Twist it with something bigger. It's just stuck in the engine body.

I'm sorry for sounding a bit stupid, but could I get any suggestions for something that's bigger and "twistable"?
Maybe I could pull it off with a pipe wrench by applying more pressure, but I don't want the whole dispenser to be trashed since I'm gonna have to do the same thing at the scrapyard.

One of these is that I used. What you used (below) I suspect would just slip.
