so i snapped an oil fitting off yesterday(#2) and im trying to get the rest of the broke off threads out...a big problem is i cant get tools into the area very easily...so im wondering, if i take the nut off(#1)..will that whole oil filter housing(#3) separate from the case(#4)?? or is it part of the case too??

 

You just need to invest in some deep metric sockets(or at least the one for this fitting) as it helps holds this assembly together.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

 

yeah its a 21mm i was just making sure that part came off(#16 in your link) and speaking of #16, why doesnt it show it in the list, what is it called? just in case i mangle it trying to get the rest of those threads out i wanna know how much it is...

 

Try not to mangle this part!! Just get the broken oil line fitting out. A lot of places no longer carry it (3086402) and the only one I found so far including Ebay is at Partszilla. A little over $88.. A $13 fitting is considerably cheaper!

 

lol, yeah, ill be trying my hardest not to mangle...ive got a reverse thread tool screwed into the broken part but its super tight and it feels like if i screw any harder it might crack around the hole

 

Use some heat and some PB blaster and it should come out.

 

i drilled n tapped, shes all back together n runnin
