Kinda wanted to start a thread where everyone could post their little hints that helped them out. Lots of good info in this section of the forum, hate to lose them due to the number of posts.
My 2 cents:
- lay hose out in the sun, makes it go on the fittings easier.
- mount all connections including barb to the filter head. Its a lot easier to have the entire fitting in place and slide the hose and clamp over it rather than put the barb in then try to tighten it up.
- WD 40 makes very short work of removing the exhaust from the hangers, and putting it back on too
- fill the filter with diesel if you can, it should prevent having to prime the engine which on mine turned out to be a pain
