What do you mean by that?

Its actually not a screw. Its a bolt and i used a wrench to
try and loosen/tighten it but it doesnt do anything.
It just keeps going in circles.

thats because the threads that the bolt is trying to grab are now lying flat.

You need a tap and dye set, you MAY be able to re-cut the threads the same size as they were before but it will be weaker than before too, a tap will cut new threads for the bolt to grab on to. The best fix would be to have it heli-coiled or get a time sert installed

Ah alright, thanks snow. I don't own a drill bit or anything so I'll probably have to go get it done by someone.

Those are nuts, You might have to put a little pressure begind them and try to take them out then., If you can get the nuts off, And the cover, Take a pair of vise gripes and back the studs out. Then you can order new studs and nuts, Or get some metric bolts and put in there.

 

[JaySushi]

Okay, I shall give that a try tomorrow.

 

[JaySushi]

So wait, I have to remove the whole entire cover?? Or just that circle part that says oil filter.

 

[JaySushi]

Phew, managed to take it off. Just required some elbow grease haha.

I believe the insert is stripped, because the stud and nut looked fine to me. However, the beginning of the insert was looking worn down.

Order an o-ring for the cover if yours is swollen up, ours no longer fit on our drz/klx125 when we did the 1st oil change.

A new o-ring came with the oil filter, and I changed both the oil filter o-ring and the one on the cover.
