The little o'ring goes on the shaft of the bolt where it passes through the alloy plate. You need to separate the bolt from the plate to see it.

Keep an eye on that flat washer over the spring.
Also clean the screen inside the rear cover.

Ditto on the flat metal washer. I put everything back together with new oil, started it up to check for leaks, topped off the oil, and then saw the flat washer sitting on the garage floor...

Yeah, that flat washer almost always sticks to the bottom of the used filter whenever I change my oil.

Crap. I've done numerous oil changes but i can't remember right now ever seeing that washer..

Lol. I'm pretty sure everyone has at one point. The washer is very thin and gets sandwiched under the rubber gasket on the oil filter.

broilmebk · April 28th, 2014, 04:00 PM

How important is it; what is its purpose? I'm 95% sure I've been riding without it..

The washer provides a bigger surface area so the spring does not push the rubber gasket on the oil filter all the way through. If that happens, the oil filter wouldn't be doing it's job as effectively.
