[diesel_mercedes] Re: oil filter canister gasket replacement, has anyone done this?

 

Yes, it's just a thin paper gasket, I didn't use any sealant or shellac .

I used hand Allen wrenches to get the bolts out, it _is_ a P.I.T.A. so just make sure you have plenty of time and the fan running.....

I replaced the oil cooler hoses at the same time .

Hi,

Even after all the repairs/ maintenance I've done recently, or have had done, I still have a bad leak at the oil filter canister.

Has anyone done a oil filter canister gasket replacement?

I have the gasket, and special shortened wrenches used to work the oil cooler lines, yet it still looks like a PITA.

Any advice? Did replacing the gasket stop the leak? Any special sealants used on the gasket, etc?

Thanks
