Removed the bolt for the canister, but the top won't come off.
Is it just stuck or is there something else in need to do?
Also, it looks like there's a place on the bolt for an O-ring maybe? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2022 Posts: 43 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2022 Posts: 43 | Top Off, filter out. The canister is full of oil. Should it be? I going to hand pump it out. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2007 Posts: 1,038 | The cannister drains through a small hole in the center tube, about 1/3 of the length from the top. In other words, the cannister should be about 2/3 full, not totally full. I use a turkey baster to remove the residual oil.

If a canister doesn't have a drain, it's an easy job to drill a hole, braze a pipe fitting in, and plug it.

The oil was pretty nasty looking.
