Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 22, 2008 8:31 am) I hate to use too much force when I tightened something. But in this case, all it took was to use extra force until the "O" ring got into position. Then it threaded easier. I did coat the "O" rings with oil, before installing the cap. I had put a white mark on the CAP and HOUSING, so I would know where it was originally. Thanks again, your help is appreciated, Jerry

Replying to: jerrybiker (Oct 22, 2008 8:52 am) You're right, once the "O" ring engages, it does take a bit more force to tighten it down. Some folks are able to tighten it all the way down by hand, but some aren't...I'm one of them, but I've got wrench that makes it a snap. I just wrap a rag around the cap so the teeth don't tear up the plastic cap. Glad to hear you worked it out. Mike

Replying to: allmet33 (Oct 22, 2008 8:57 am) I tried to buy that special wrench that fits the filter CAP, but the Dealer told me that it only comes in a KIT, they would not sell it to me by its self. Thanks again Mike, Jerry

Replying to: jerrybiker (Oct 22, 2008 9:06 am)  With the way the filter cap is situated, I can only make small turns anyway, so that aids in making sure I take my time with it. Here's a link to some oil filter pliers you may try, or look in some of your local automotive stores. I think I originally bought mine from AutoZone. Oil Filter Pliers There's a few you can choose from on this link here... The Tool Warehouse

Replying to: jerrybiker (Oct 22, 2008 8:52 am) >> The problem I had was that it took a lot of force (more than expected) to >> screw the oil filter CAP down, once the "O" ring made contact with the >> housing. I thought that it was only supposed to be tightened by HAND. You can tighten it by hand. Yes there will be more force required once the o-ring engages the housing, but it's not that much more. More on this below. >> all I needed to do was to use more force to get past that point where >> the "O" ring makes contact, so it is compressed into the housing. Yes. If you look closely, you'll see there's a bevel at the top of the housing to enable the o-ring to be eased into the housing. If there were no bevel, you'd probably sheer the o-ring getting past the edge of the housing. >> I did coat the "O" rings with oil, before installing the cap. Did you also coat the inside of the upper part of the housing (including the bevel) where the o-ring was going to have to slip-n-slide into it's final position? I emphasized this in my original instructions. >> I had put a white mark on the CAP and HOUSING, so I would know >> where it was originally. Good man. Regards, Gary in Sandy Eggo

Replying to: garysteinweg (Oct 22, 2008 2:05 pm) Thanks for your detailed response Gary. I did coat inside of the housing (including bevel). But I did not expect that much resistance as I tightened the cap. Now that I understand that, I will have no problem with this in the future. Thanks, Jerry |

| Cabin Air Filters are available as follows: WIX 24517, FRAM CF10381, PUROLATOR C35661 and OEM R22547. Lowest price is at Automotive Parts Superstore on EBAY for $8 Plus $6 S&H. Don't know how good they are but usually you get what you pay for, so let your wallet be your guide. | |

I've been living with a rattle in the rear shelf since ~6k miles. When I took the car in for an early 15k service, I told them about it. It rattles whether the radio is on or not, so it's not speaker vibration. The tech heard the rattle, but did NOTHING to try to fix it. I was told by the service writer that since I was past 12k miles, it may or may not be a warrantied repair! He said that if the part is broken, it would be covered, but if it simply needed an adjustment it would NOT be covered. HOW DO YOU ADJUST A REAR PACKAGE SHELF??? I called Hyundai USA and was told the same thing. The girl at Hyundai said they go by what the dealership says. It was almost like she was saying "wink, wink - have the tech say the piece was broken and we'll pay for it." I called the service manager and told him I'm no longer feeling so good about America's best warranty. I'm supposed to authorize them to tear the car apart not knowing what reason they'll give for the rattle - and who will pay and how much. It's an intermittent rattle, so I've been tolerating it. The service manager says they are very happy to do the work, and they don't care who pays for it, and that since customers buy cars, not Hyundai, they really want me happy and aren't so concerned about Hyundai's happiness in the matter. Service Manager Training 101? He is going to ask the Hyundai rep to cover this no matter the cause as a gesture of good will. Anyone know where the secret adjusment screw is on the rear package shelf? Absurd. |
