Default 80k Haldex fluid/filter change; fuel filter change this morning.

Thanks to stilljester and others that have written up the how-to's on the Haldex, I swung over to DanoTT's house this morning and successfully changed out the Haldex oil and the filter (Dan has the wrench).

First time for me doing this, took it slow and had no problems at all. Dan found a creative way to push the fluid out of the cartridge without a caulk gun . . . we used a 12" flexible socket extension and inserted it into the end of the oil cartridge, pushing straight up with the tip of the cartridge inserted into the drain hole. There's only about 2" of clearance between the end of the cartridge and the driveway when on ramps, so this worked very well.

Fuel filter was very easy as well, thanks to a few tips found in the archives.

(Oh, and Dan changed the brake fluid on his Honda street bike while I was on my back under the TT!)

I didn't take any pics or do a how-to write up, search and you'll see there are plenty of resources here.
