While keeping canister level, so as not to dislodge O-ring, position canister to bottom of reservoir housing and tighten loosely by hand. It may be
necessary to loosen reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts to access the canister. Using a flexible strap type oil filter wrench, complete filter canister
tightening by turning canister about one-sixth of a turn past initial O-ring compression.
NOTE:
The rubber grommet on the filter will automatically seat on the piloted stud of the upper housing as the canister is tightened.
REMINDER:
If reservoir-to-frame mounting bolts were loosened in above step, re-tighten.
