New air filter nuts

[Homemade]

I had a problem with the screws on my solo 667 air filter loosening up and stripping out. I found a new air filter, and the guy selling them also sold me two steel replacement/upgrade screws.

Do you guys know any way to get he aluminum ones out without damaging the filter?

Can’t just push ‘em out?

No. If you notice on the black one laying down, it has a barb on it and keeps it captive in the filter.

Stihl has a similar style for their split afs... they push out.

Put a little oil on the barb and push it out. It will back out, then pop back in the new screws.

If nothing else works, grind the barb down with a Dremel and push it out.

Sounds good

I had to thread a Allen cap screw into it so I had something to pound on. ( it needed a little hammer persuasion). Tapped the aluminum ones out and new steel ones in. Thanks guys.
