And to keep the book and lovagroova and my mind all happy.... I'm off to pick up 5w-40 right now! :-)

 

Good work, worth it for piece of mind. The plunger should not touch the pad until you release the wing nut.

 

Yes I think it must have been out a bit further than it should be maybe... or the seal.... not sure! It went in no problem today, like it was just sitting in the hole, so seems should be all ok now.

Thanks so much guys, really appreciate it.

Oil all changed now also. Had a magnetic oil plug to pop in but its the worng size, (Js racing one), my drain bolt takes a 19mm socket the Js was a much snaller thed, as well as taking a smaller sicket more like a 14mm, it went in but didnt have much screwed in and didn't feel confident (if you know what I mean)

Ive continued with magnets on the oil filter with old drain bolt (washer cleaned up) until next oil change.

 

So the only update is....
