Cumminspr513 Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 I feel like an idiot for asking but what am I missing that I can't remove my oil bath cartridge from the housing? Truck is a '57 B with 673. The bottom of the housing is off and the wing-nut has been removed and the small filter on the bottom is out but nothing else will budge........little help please.

Cumminspr513 Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 So the larger metal canister with the screen in it stays inside the housing?If so what is the best method for getting all the "mung" out that I can see on the inside wall of the housing between it and the canister?

BOB DINGSDALE Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 if your close to a steam cleaner or large tub of solvent or try that "30 SECOND" cleaner. It works like a hot dam.

Maddog13407 Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 yup, the hard way. take it off and soak it or use something to scrape the grease out. its a bad design.
