Nothing like an hour and a half oil change
Lol! Am I ever happy finding this thread!! I always thought it was just me going through this!!
Similar set up in my 64 Valiant. For added fun the previous owner thought it was prudent to run the steel brake line directly inches behind the oil filter but didn't snug it to the firewall. First time changing the filter I got my arm stuck in the headers when my arm slipped down above the elbow. Couldn't pull it back out. I was alone in the garage in December and you just know the wife isn't going to bother to come looking for me till Spring! :( Eventually got enough oil on my arm to grease my way out.
I just changed the filter again a few weeks ago. This time I practiced the route to get it in and out. I did gymnastic moves worthy of a medal on the olympic podium. Only took 10 minutes this time.....but I was sweatin' before doing it again!
None of my friends understand why it is so hard....till they try.....
Nice to meet another "Early A Fenderwell Header Brother in Arms" :)
