Have an '08 R1200R that belongs to the Mrs.
Changing oil today I find that I cannot back out the old oil filter. Filter turns but does not release. Threaded component must have come loose from the housing. I have a reasonable assumption as to how (old gasket stuck on install initially and couldn't tighten enough to seat. Figured out the issue and found the previous ring still in there) but my question is now how to remove the filter.
The only path I can fathom is a dremel tool to remove the outside canister and essentially disassemble the filter. Hoping to cut my way through to get my hand into the threaded neck. Oil is weaping slightly (yes i filled it to make sure no one inadvertently hit the starter when dry). i'll drain the good oil out and re-use it since it's Mobil one.
Any suggestions to remove this filter are welcome.
