Oil Filter Adapter Housing Assembly?
 

I have a very small oil leak that is not coming from the filter housing but from just above where the filter screws on. As far as i can tell it looks like i somehow got a hairline crack in it.
I managed to stop the part i could see with some JB Weld Marineweld, but can't reach the entire crack because i can't see it nor get to it, with out removing it first.
So Does anyone know how to replace the entire Oil Filter Adapter Housing Assembly?
What is the best way to get at it from?
Should I remove the front end and go at it from that way, or is there an easier way?
Just hoping maybe someone on here has had to remove one before.
Tips anyone?

Gotcha thanks!
Do you know where i might luck up and find service/repair removal inst. w/o having to purchase the expensive repair manual?
Or if you have ever removed one which way did you get to it from?
From top, bottom or front?
Also do you know how many bolts will have to be removed?

thanks again!

If you can't get a workshop manual the next thing is get ElsaWin which is on fleabay. Your model and type code shows on my 4.10.

If you want the oil filter bracket details PM me your email address and I will make a PDF and email it to you? While I'm on there if there is any other things you want make a list?
