I've been a lurker on this site ever since I caught a glimpse of the CB, and knew I wanted one. I've found so much useful knowledge and ideas on here, I'm hoping you guys could lend me a hand. I was doing my oil change on my 2013 CB1100 and managed to cross thread the filter. When trying to put a new one on, it binds up and looks like I've gummed up some of the threads on the oil filter bolt. My question is, has anyone had any experience with this? Or does anyone have any suggestions? The bolt doesn't look too bad, I was thinking I could maybe use a thread cleaner or something just to clean it up a little bit. I'm basically freaking out, and need some advice. This was the best place I could think of to come for answer. Thanks in advance guys. Help get me back on the road. It's beautiful in NC right now!!

I am reaching here and I would get opinions of pros or go to a machine shop, but I have used in the past on other bolts not the oil filter thread
Get a metric thread file of the proper thread and clean it up
Get a thread die of appropriate thread and clean it up
Is the threaded post a replaceable part or an integral part of the engine casing? Suggest you check the parts fiche.
Okay I just looked at the parts fiche for a 2013 it appears to be part 90019-MB0-000. I had it wrong the first time
Due your due diligence as this was for a 2013 I looked up

There are files used for dressing up threads in cases like this. I got mine from the Snap-on dealer back in the early 80's. They come in metric and SAE.
You could also run a thread die over it if you have one big enough.
Worse case, you'll have to replace the bolt but I don't think you'll need to go that route.

Its called the Boss, Oil Filter and costs about $7.27 at the dealer. Less on-line.
Or do what Elipten says and use a thread chaser to clean it up.
It is Item 17 in the Oil Pan/Oil Pump section of the fiche. Part number 90019-MB0-000

Find a die with the same thread and diameter. use a magnet if it is steel,( to catch the chips) while you chase out the threads. just go slow and make sure die is straight. you could try a vacuum to catch the chips. just make sure, none get into where the filter base usually contacts. any metal in the oil will make the problem with the thread seem unimportant. the die will not be available at a hardware or lowe's or home depot. You could try Little hardware, downtown, they have everything, or will tell you where to find it. check to see if that part is replaceable, or part of the block. if it can be replaced, go to the dealer there. just replace the part, much cheaper than a file or die that size.

I would definitely rather replace it, but it wasn't apparent to me how to remove the bolt. It honestly didn't look removable. I think the die or thread file would work, but I'm worried about metal shavings and would rather just replace it. I can't even think about splitting the cases if that needs to be done. it wouldn't be possible due to expense. This things only got 3500 miles on it.

You will have to jam two nuts together if you can get them started. The same for tightening up the new one.

unfortunately, if I could get the bolts on, I wouldn't have a problem. lol. It's apparent I'm not getting anything done tonight as it's getting dark. I think I'll look for the wife's Xanax and try to lower my blood pressure. I'm leaning towards the file/die solution because they don't appear to be too mangled. Admitting to my wife that I managed to screw up the bike she bought me the first time I tried to do anything to it will be another lesson in humility for me. Ugh. Thanks for all the replies guys.

get the new one, remove the old one with vise grips, not like you need it anymore. then put the new one with two nut one tightened against the other. the put in with a closed end wrench. and don't tell her anything.

Don't screw around with it and just replace it. It might take some heat to get it free from the block as they most likely used thread locker on it to keep it in place, but it will come out.
This is one of those things that I would never skimp on because having the threads on my oil filter let go when I'm doing 75 MPH in a curve on the freeway isn't my idea of a good time.
I just think that's it's better to be safe than sorry, especially when the cost for the replacement part is so low.
