filter removing tool

[cazone]

Hi, we own a Coachman Pastiche, and we are getting ready for our first outing with it. I am trying to locate a tool that will help me remove the filter cover easier, but I cant seem to find anything suitable. Does any one know where I can purchase such a thing, or has anybody got any suggestions that will enable me to take the cover off. Thanks in anticipation,

Roy.

Hi Roy

Do you have the carver screw in type?If so a pair of pliers across the middle and unscrewed anti clockwise does the trick.New one in put some vegetable oil on the o ring then do up by hand.You will see the stop on the screw thread,dont overtighten or you will crack the screw housing.

Hi Roy

As Mikey has said, the pliers should work on a carver filter. There is a removal tool as well as filter renewal packs on

For the screw in type filter, I used a piece of broom handle with a slot cut in it to unscrew it. Does same job as a pair of pliers but spreads the load over a greater length.
