Exclamation Taking off crankcase cover on Suzuki Ozark 250

I have a 2004 Suzuki Ozark 250. I was changing the oil and while doing it I broke the long bolt holding the oil filter/ crankcase over on. Before taking the cover off is there anything I need to know or be careful of? It looks like I have to take the clutch cover bolts off and then the surrounding crankcase cover bolts off. I ordered the new bolt and a new gasket. I have a bolt/screw remover kit. Does anyone know the lb feet of torque the bolts should be put on with? Hope I can get an answer to this. Thanks

Manuals have a generalized chart on bolt toque by size. 6mm low strength bolts usually around 5-7 foot pounds.

The manual does say 7ft lbs just looked it up. Is there anything I need to be careful or aware of when taking it off?

Just pay attention to the way the filter fits.https://www.cheapcycleparts.com/oemp...226d6/oil-pump

Not quite understanding.. Just the cover for the filter? No you don't. Better than to rely on a good manual rather than me on a Suzuki.https://www.tradebit.com/filedetail....2-2014-lt-f250
