Took the oil filter adapter off, and replaced the 3 o-rings.....
Had to make a special tool . I modified a T-60 torx socket, by grinding it shorter, and making it 6-sided to fit into a box end wrench.





Job was a piece of cake with this, and a gear-wrench.

I built nearly the exact same thing to do mine. Worked like a charm.
