From: SteveH on 4 Apr 2010 07:03 Had to happen.... the existing 2 piece filter broke in half when removing it. How the hell do I get the remaining half out? I've tried hooking it out with a screwdriver, but that didn't work....so I'm a bit stuck now. Right PITA this job is. I've had to loosen the lower fairing panel and the connector for the oil cooler only *just* swings out of the way enough. -- SteveH

I have a number of hook tool things for retrieving O rings, gaskets and the like and they're very useful. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cht161-4-piece-mini-pick-hook-set -- Simon

The club which ordered them went bust and left them with loads of these things like a stout piece of bent ss wire with a moulded-on handle which resembled a bogchain pull. The idea was to hook out corks which had escaped into winebottles, but of course, they have much better uses. (All family and some fiends had one for their drinkies cabinet, and IIRC, I've got two or three in the workshop somewhere.) -- Rusty

I think you can buy simla from RS, we have some approaching that description in the Big Lab's toolbox. Tho' if you can wait for the wine-bottle to be emptied, there's a U-Bend vidjo showing how to recover an errant cork using nowt but a plastic carrier bag. You stuff the carrier bag into the bottle and, then invert the bockle so that the cork falls down into the neck beside the bag. Gently inflate the bag, then pulling on the bag grips the cork and drags it through the neck. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Od5p8WPTy8 -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.
