Just installed a new S15. My oil filter points directly aft toward the firewall recess. While the S15 is shorter than the standard 48108, I still can't get a torque wrench on the K&P supplied filter wrench without the handle running into the cowl attach flanges at the top of the firewall.
Any suggestions for how I can achieve the ~16-18 ft-lbs of torque recommended in the instructions? Any type of adapter available to provide an alternative method of torquing?
(For the old 48108's I just used the hand tight + 3/4 additional turn with the strap wrench method but the S15 filter is a different diameter and o-ring style so I'm not sure that would be the way to go.)
Suggestions appreciated.
Can you get a crows foot on the cup?
