oil filter bracket assembly removal

[gabo]

It is under the intake manifold, it's pretty tight in there. Has anyone had experience replacing that part(where the oil filter screws onto)? I will likely try to replace it without removing the intake mani. By Monday, my hands will likely be shredded.

You can do it.Just remove the mani supports. You will also have to loosen your alternator belt and let it dangle.
