Should have asked this before but how do you properly clean the screen?

I cannot get this oil screen out.. [bang].

Righty tighty, lefty loosey still applies to this right??? Or is it a reverse thread?

I dont have power tools and I am afraid to get the breaker bar out and strip the hex bolt.  How did everyone else get theirs out of their bikes?

They're hard to get out if it's been awhile. I just use a breaker bar.  All the ones I've taken out come out as if something had broke, but it's always been good so far.

Haha, yeah they have these guys on there tight. Breaker bar did the trick. I am not sure my filter was ever taken out before.

The manual says 42nm, but it is probably on there tighter.  The manual also calls for cleaning the screen with petrol and compressed air. Does petrol translate to "gas"?
