36 mm Oil Filter Socket (wrench)

[Spôôk]

I am planning an oil & filter change next week and read about the steps on the HOW TO. Apparently I need a 36 mm Socket to unscrew the top of the filter. I have searched on Danish sites - but no go!
Any ideas where I can get one on the Internet? UK online stores etc.

I purchased mine from Halfords but thats no good to you. Try the Draper web site they will do them but i'm not sure about mail order.

Good luck

Thanks Mark
But I believe that one is for the "old" type oil filters. The R75 has a hex nut top (36 mm) designed to take it off with.

May be worth asking if he'd post abroad? If he wont, I'm sure someone here could send it on to you :) I was lucky, I found one in the door pocket :)
