thanks for the replies guys... i will take another look this weekend and will post an update - with some pictures if they come out.
i could see well inside the banjo on the passenger side. (there was very little oil in there...) jfrankton - my allen key could go all the way down inside of the banjo and bottom out. i didn't see any black plastic.
now on the other side - there was more oil. it was all pooled up - so i really couldn't see anything. i tried fishing with the allen key - but really didn't poke around that much because i was afraid i could damage the filter screen and then not be able to remove it.
by the looks of peaty's pictures - i take it you use the needle nose, (or 3-prong) , to grab the top of the filter - which is made of plastic. is the diameter of the filter just slightly smaller than the banjo?
thanks again guys.
