I @#$%up and bent the new filter with my homemade manual lift when I was trying to get the rear tire back on(ordered the Sears lift today)Can I remove and replace it without losing all that new oil in the crankcase?
Thanks,
Pete

You'll lose a little, but not a lot. Don't ask how I know...

You'll get messy  But should be fine. Just grab an extra quart. Top off the new filter, and check your level.
