BMC carefully positioned it there to make it bloody near impossible to get the oil filter out. Without spilling it. :lol:
I guess at least it doesn't crack the bodywork and fall off, like Clubby ones- including ours did. :wink:

was a bit surprised...especially since the passenger side brake lines go right under it...hence why i thought it was a brake booster or something...do i just undo the nut ontop? or is there some other way of getting it off?

Hi

Just get a 7/16 socket (1/4" drive is best with a 2" extension.) into the spce under the lip of the subframe to hold the nuts, then use a 7/16" spanner to turn the bolt on the outside of the subframe and the whole thing lifts away. (2 bolts in the horizontal plane)
