5. Position a suitable draining tray underneath the filter and remove the filter from the engine casting by hand. Discard the old filter canister.
6. Thoroughly clean the oil filter housing face.
7. Partly pre-fill the new filter with clean oil of the correct type. Apply a thin film of clean oil to the filter sealing ring.
8. Screw on new filter until sealing ring abuts the filter head and tighten a further 1/2 to 3/4 turn. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

NB either a cranked or flexible ended funnel will be required for filling oil through the rocker cover filler neck.

1. Turn off the battery isolator switch.
2. Slacken the bolt fixing the alternator adjusting arm to the engine after firstly loosening the lock-nut.
3. Loosen the main alternator mounting bolts. (Fig. a1)
4. Loosen the adjuster centre locking bolt. (1) in Fig a2.
5. Tension the drive belt by applying and maintaining a torque of 10Nm (7.5 lb ft) to the pinion nut while at the same time tightening the centre locking bolt (Fig. a3).
If a new belt has been fitted the pinion nut torque should be 15 Nm (11 lb ft).
It is important that these torque figures be strictly adhered to - great care should be taken not to overtighten the belt or damage to the alternator will result.
6. Tighten the alternator mounting bolts.
7. Tighten the adjusting arm retaining bolt, not forgetting the lock-nut.
