eMax 22 / 25 Hints & Tricks

New to the site, can anyone tell me the trick to removing the HST filter on a eMax 25?

You will just have to give it all you can without tweeking the mount... first one is always a pain.. be sure to put clean oil on the seal before you put the new one back on and get hand tight with half a turn on a wrench

What's the best way to get to it. Should I be able to get it loose without taking anything off. I have one of the oil filter wrenches that is supposed to work from the end of the filter, but I can seem to get it to grip. Thanks

Yes sir I usually use a plyer style wrench...

if all else fails a punch and cheater works

I noticed a definite HST noise reduction after the full 50hr service. I say "full" as I changed the engine and HST oil at 45hrs as I had a smallish job lined up and didn't want to push the OEM oil too far.

After a full service at 52hrs the hydraulic noise of the transmission is almost zero. There's some but it's what you'd expect.

Oh, and make sure you have a BIG drain pan for the transmission!!

HST filter hints...

Remove the return hose just below the filter. Let it drain a bit then you can get a wrench around the filter.

To clean the suction screen you don't have to remove the tire. It just clears with a little tilt.

Let me just say it was a Laurel and Hardy moment. I had the ~4gal of oil to fill, just never had the 'Ahaa!' moment. :banghead: More like AAAHHHHHHGGGHHHH!

None on the garage floor (thankfully).
