Is one going to the other? Difficult to tell from those photos/angles. The filter wire almost looks as if it goes to a chassis bracket.
I don't know what I was thinking - I must be getting old - SorryNope, it’s not. Looking straight at the nut, you would turn counter clockwise to remove. You would be turning away from the wire. It’s correct. Why do you say that about the filter and not the drain? They are both pulling in the same direction preventing a counter clockwise turn, just that they are on opposite sides.
- I reevaluated the oil filter wire. I cannot find a descent spot to run the safety wire too anywhere within 'inside the engine assembly'. There's just nothing neat, convenient, nor easy to get to in this area I'll have to keep looking for something here and reattack.
