Remove rear guard shield 4 x 12mm bolts, remove rear mounting bracket 6 x 14mm bolts. Catch Hydraulic fluid when removing old filter, have new filter ready to install. Work quickly. Measure Hydraulic fluid and refill tank UNDER passenger seat. Transmission dipstick on top of engine is for the gear box only, not the Hydraulic system.
Easier to replace larger suction filter before yellow Hydraulic filter. Both filters are for Hydraulic system, not the gear box dipstick on top of engine. Before reinstalling bracket and rear shield, remove 12mm spark arrester bolt from muffler and tap muffler with rubber mallet while revving engine,this will restore lost power and get carbon buildup out.

Very low clearance on the RTV1140 for this. The Transmission Oil Filter is in the way so removing that first and then replacing this would be an easier way. I used a strap wrench and went under the filter, which had minimal room to work (but was successful)
