Yes, much easier removing the bolts from the block and have the head=0Ao=

00, due to the tilt of the bracket, you cannot drop the middle fixing=0A=

<html><body>Yes, much easier removing the bolts from the block and have=
 the head on the bench to extract and replace the gasket properly. On th=
e early 100, due to the tilt of the bracket, you cannot drop the middle=
 fixing bolt from the canister and then get the unit out of the car-eith=
er topside or from bottom...you must remove the whole unit from the bloc=
k and bench it-also easier to fill up with oil to prime the filter prior=
 to starting. The later 100 production modified the filter body to take=
 it away from the motor mount, but its still easier to take it from the=
 block and replace the paper gasket as well. Way less mess and positive=
 sealing a plus. Hank<br><br><div class=3D"reply-new-signature"></div><p=
