The BWORing can be re-used but only by Ron Jeremy, and not for his oil filter.
Have you seen the size of that O ring? RJ must be a girthy fellow! :shock:
His girthiness made a career for him.

That raises questions that aren't even suitable for the Speakeasy. Dude, you may need to seek some help!

I don't have wooden skewers for probing my ball, but I do have a chainsaw file.

Ideally, the probing object needs a flat on the end..................much like a chainsaw file really..

The 'flat' prevents the end of the 'probe' from easily slipping off the ball....

I have tried using a skewer before, but the chicken obscured the ball.
Remove the chicken, reverse the skewer, and use the flat end.

Exactly Vanzen.

And don't forget to wear safety glasses to prevent poking one self in the eye with the pointy end!

I used a wooden chop stick. Had the nice flat end. The ball is still n place with light spring resistance. I installed the filter with new white O ring, new shim, and new gaskets on the filter cover and sump plug. I am most virtuous. 8-)
