I bought an 02 SV from someone and it needed the oil changed. There's where the trouble started. Find the details here: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=94318

I now need to remove the old oil stand union. What do you use to get it out? Is it backwards threads? Is there a special tool to remove it?

PLEASE NO SPECULATIONS OR MERE SUGGESTIONS. I only need people's suggestions that have actually done this. This is something that CANNOT be messed up any farther because it could cost a tremendous amount to fix a blunder with it.

Thanks for the help.

T: Hit Dustin up on this... I was just talking to him about this, he had to do some repairs to his new motor. He can 'splain it.

I know in the other thread there was one guy who said his came out accidentally and he threw it away. I wish mine would come out that easy.

Once you have the new part you should be able to tell which way it turns.

don't know if it's the same guy, but jeopardy98 has 2 blocks for sale, one with a busted union. the union either cracked out of the case or it broke off.

i would PM him and ask to take a look at the union to see which way the threads turn, and if so, what it would take to remove it.

sorry for the 'mere suggestion' but i hope it helps.
