oil screen remove

[Duane Baker]

How do you get the screen out, it looks like there is no room to pull it out with out pulling the engine.

It’s a pain to remove but it is doable.  There is a video link somewhere on MooneySpace about how to do it.  I’m lousy at searching the site.  Maybe someone can post the link.  Lee

If you remove the oil filter and stand on a step ladder, you can reach your arm straight down where the oil filter was and easily get it out.

Checkout my recent post here: 

You may be surprised to find some crap there if the screen hasn't been attended to in a while.

I heard doing the safety wire after replacing is the hardest part?

See this:

Is this the video you were thinking of https://mooneyspace.com/topic/26423-any-tricks-to-pulling-oil-screen-on-io-360/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-433113? (You may need to scroll to the video by @AGL Aviation). We remembered it was Lynn from AGL Aviation who had posted tge video – it made the search a bit easier. (We agree the search function on the site isn’t always easy!)

Best,

I think the bloody knuckles says it all

To get it out you need to remove the cap from the long screen first then there is enough room to slide the screen out.

Goes back in the same way. 

Always use a new copper ring and the correct torque. 

Have no little kids around wen you go to safety wire the cap however.

Does this same technique work for safety wiring after reinstallation?

Somewhat. You can get one hand down there. you can fish the lockwire through the holes, but twisting it is still a PITA.
