Catch Can too tight

[Leo Slayer]

I bought a Mishmoto catch can last year and fitted it to my MY20.
I tried to unscrew the can on the weekend to empty it but it is done up too tight.
Any suggestions on how to empty the can?

Thanks

I hate when that happens.
I use rubber bands (several) and rubber gloves to try and get it loosened and learn from my mistake.
I then dont overtighten them and check them more often. Every 3,000 km - half the severe condition oil change interval..
Hope this helps.

I'll try that this weekend, thanks

Looks like a good lever. Certainly worth a go, thanks

I know the feeling had mine on about two months when i tried to release it. Had to summon my inner Arnie to get it done.

Petcock drain. You will not have to unscrew the catch can ever again. Mishimoto also sells a kit on the website.

When you do put the bowl back on, make sure the O-Ring has some oil or grease on it and it shouldn't stick again. No O-Ring should ever be installed dry ( it's just a matter of which kind of lube you use ).

Lube all the threads of the can, not just the o ring. Mine screws on and off like butter!

True, Life's better with lube !
