Re: [T3] Unexpected oil change problem


> The problem was that the cover plate was stuck tight

Maybe the nuts had spread the plate a little and it was locking into the
threads.  You might find replacing the centre bolt and wiggling that with
the socket would loosen it enough to remove it.  This would save risking
damaging the filter gauze edge with a pry-bar or screwdriver.
Of course, maybe someone used gasket cement on all the faces!

You could be quite aggressive cleaning it off the plate, but the filter
screen will need replacing if the gaskets are glued on.  You will need to
take care with the crankcase too.
