Yes, I have read about a dozen threads on this topic - but the final removal aspect is glossed over in them all. The problems tend to be over access to the bolts, or getting them off without rounding etc. I have managed all that but the unit does not seem to want to part company with the engine block. Do I just pull harder? or prise with screwdriver?Your'e not the only one with a thread on this on 'ere, and I fink tother bloke had a similar problem.
Undoing bolts, bolted into ally is such sheit isn't it?
Heart in the mouth stuff!
Sympathise mate.
or does it come off in a particular direction?

It’s been a while, but I’ve done 2 or 3 and they should just come straight off when the bolts, I think 3, are undone and the pipes released.Yes, I have read about a dozen threads on this topic - but the final removal aspect is glossed over in them all.

Success....using the tried and trusted method of a Masterly plan of inactivity. Went inside, watched Nicola for a while, ate a Pot Noodle, went back out, glared at the regulator...and it came off in my hand! No idea what was holding it....other than 15 years of "stick" perhaps.

She’s a wee dwarf who knows how to f**k an entire country.
Sturgeon?
@Beneagles Old(ish) thread I know, but is the 'O' ring that sits in front of the gauze filter the same size as those for the pipes? I bought an FPR block with pipes etc. and it came with four 'O' rings, all the same size. Wondering if one of those is meant for the filter?Success....using the tried and trusted method of a Masterly plan of inactivity.

Very useful!!!
When I had to remove the lockers and all the rest of the gubbins from the back of my D2 in order to get the carpet up without cutting it, I bought a cheap box of tools to remove clips, from a local Motabitz. It made a real difference and almost all the clips were reusable.
