opg oil pickup bolt - Try This

[jabrax]

I see a lot of comments about how to do the oil pickup bolt. Before you try anything else, try this first. I was able to get the bolt screwed all the way up before needing a wrench to tighten down. (10 mins)

1 - put a bag or something in case you drop the bolt (but having a nice magnet on hand doesn't hurt.

2. put the bolt through a piece of electrical tape, use the tape to keep hold of the bolt, clamping the tape between your pinky finger and palm (right hand)

3. steady the bolt with the pointer or middle finger of your right hand against the hole.

4. (Left hand) - reach your pointer or middle finger around the oil pickup tube to the head of the bolt being held in place by your right hand finger.

5. - carefully turn the bolt with the two fingers (one from each hand) keeping constant pressure upward to get the thread to grab.

6. once bolt is more than half way halfway in - pull the tape.


Note, I was able to also unscrew the bolt this way after getting started - I never needed the bent wrenches :cheers:
