Question Oil Filter Housing Bolt... HELP - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

J. Williams · #1 (**permalink**) 08-24-2009, 07:36 PM

Attempting "MY" first oil change of my 08' Sequoia (dealer did first at 5K.) I was using the very detailed "step-by-step" post coming from here.
However, I looked at one of the pics wrong and removed the side bolt sitting beside the filter housing (it also goes into the metal section of the filter housing.) Anyway, a spring and another small piece came out, and I'm unsure what position they go BACK in.
Anyone know where I might find this data??? It would be so DARN APPRECIATED I can't stand it!!!
HELP!!! and THANKS!!!

Post a picture of the parts. I'm pretty sure it's a pressure relief valve. I'm guessing the installation order would be: relief valve, spring, then the bolt. But post a picture because the relief valve should only go on one way. If it weren't so much trouble, I'd take a look on my Sequoia...

I have a complete filter housing for R&D, I'll look to see what position the relief valve goes back in. Make sure there is no damage to relief valve...

complete housing for R&D....are you going to fabricate a "normal" or filter relocation kit! I would buy one!
