broken oil cap

[Steve]

This......

Why? Just because it came from three different people?

Or just because it might work?

At least four. I suggested it in the third post. Apparently it didn't work for some reason.
Maybe someone named "The Bonehead P O" used JB Weld to "fix" an oil seep.

26 replies on how to get an oil filler cap off!!!!!! i am surprised no one has suggested he buy a new clutch cover, to save all the hassle....... :lol:

I'm sure it will eventually come to that, one way or another.

after all the heating and chiselling and hammering the cover is probably warped by now anyway lol.....

Engine cases too, maybe?

Didn't catch your post....

Use a hammer and some sort of drift to turn it, like a screwdriver or something to drive it counterclockwise.

This....

Get out a hammer and chisel, place the chisel on the outer radius and start bashing.

If it's a 550 I have an extra! It's been two weeks! I can't remember!

I figured if he didn't know that, he needs to back away from his wrenches.

Counterclockwise!

yeah but mine is the RIGHT one. when it is tight the writing on the cap faces outwards not upside down like the broken one......

When I bought my GS it had a boat plug as the oil cap.

The lip of the cap snapped as I tried to remove the cap. So... how do I get it off?

And are they standard / common to most / all GSes? I see a cap on ebay for six bucks, listed under GS450. This is a 650.

Part is 10.70 at Alpha-Sports
09200-30810 fits 124 models

And much cheaper anywhere else.

$6.10 I think it was last time.
Which does not help get the old JB Welded one out.

Using a chisel and smacking counterclockwise has only been successful in disfiguring the cap even more, not loosening anything. I have a replacement ready, from ebay for six bucks.

I bet we can get to ten pages.

 

[JEEPRUSTY]

still stuck?
use a dremel to cut a small slot for a big assed screwdriver and she will come out..

i seriously think you need to pull the cover off and have a look inside before you do some damage to the cover. there is no way that cap should put up that much of a fight.
maybe it has been sealed on with jb weld or some serious loctite?????
