I have the Van's blue anodized gascolator. Every oil change (50hrs), I remove the bowl in order to inspect it and the screen for debris. However, the bowl is a real PITA to remove. It just does not want to come off and I think the problem is that the O ring is doing its job too well. This past weekend I changed the oil and tried to remove the bowl again but gave up and decided to make it an annual inspection item only.
I have only once found debris on the screen and that was in the first few hours of my -9s life.
Is there an easier way to remove the gascolator bowl? I thought there may be a vacuum created by trying to pull it off so I removed the quick drain plug but no joy.
