Forge BOV Help

How do I change the filter?

Can seem to be able to unscrew it.

I had this problem with mine, the only way to remove it was to poke a long large screwdriver through it and turn anticlockwise. It won't matter that you'll damage the oil filter as your changing it anyway.

Cheers Ranj,

Thats what I've been doing it's hard work. It looks like some thread lock has been used. Would heating this up help.

Careful with the heat, the piston inside the BOV is plastic.

If you manage to extract the BOV and find you've buggered the 'T'Piece thread I have got a spare 'T' piece you can have. Unless you post here to the contrary I'll bring it tomorrow just in case you need it.

Cheers Graham,

I had the piston/spring out before I tried to heat it. But I still can't get it apart. I can't get it back in either.

I bent 1 screwdriver (cheap one) and snapped the handle on one of my good ones.

I have wedged the seal ring incase there is a leak through the thread and put it back and it drives fine.

I have emailed Forge to see what they say.

Sounds like the same problem Greg had. He sent his away to Forge and got it repaired FOC.

I did indeed.

Could not get the damn thing unscrewed. Popped it in a box and it returned 48 hours later fully serviced. Very good service.

I have a feeling they are soon going to hate noble owners though.
