How long does cleaning/drying/oiling typically take from removal to re-install using kit?

Cleaning takes about 5 min. I usually do this in the evening and let the filter sit overnight to dry. I will oil it the next morning/day. The oiling only takes a minute or two.

I usually clean the filter in the evening and let it dry overnightThen I apply the oil in the morning before reinstalling the filterThe leanings year about 20 min because you wait 10 min to allow the wash to work before rinsing itApplying the oil only takes a few minutes

About an hour. You have to let the Kleener dry for 10 minutes before you rinse off the dirt, and then let the filter dry completely before you apply the oil, which was 30 minutes for me. The oil has to cure for about 20, sometimes you have to apply a second coat of oil.

It was pretty fast and simple. I would say 10 minutes at most. It will help to take a look at how you take the old part off and then it will be clear how to put the new one on.

Don't bother. Scoop it out, wipe it down with some paper towels, get as clean as practical. I used some Orange cleaner on the paper towel around some of the gear housing, but that was it. It isn't contaminated like having dust filings when a bearing goes. I scooped the grease into a container so I knew how much to put back in and used a similar amount.

YEP... just remove the old one and replace with the new one.... 45 min tops

I did it dry but i believe if you leave it in some warm place just for couple minutes it will help you to install it easier.

I was replacing mine too. I did not need to buy a new trim kit but they clearly made the trim kit one time use only. When we took if off it was almost impossible to pop back in

It takes about 30 minutes per batch, then remove batch, followed by a 10 minute cool off period, then clean and refill. So you would need about 50 minutes per batch.

Chad: I can't remember exactly but I think about 15-30 minutes each or maybe more. It takes time to change pads and mask off and stop and check, etc. I usually said to myself - that's not enough, and re-did that lite again with same grit. You have to be vary careful not to run off on your paint or chrome. I used water and wet sanded every step. I would never try it dry only! I even went to PepBoys or Autozone or somewhere and bought a 2000 grit paper and made up my own extra fine pad. That grit that was not included in the 3-M packet. I did my Dodge Pickup lites in the fall 2012 they still look good. Chad: I can't remember exactly but I think about 15-30 minutes each or maybe more.

I've looked online and found nothing yet. Perhaps someone (even I) will find the pamphlet that comes with it and put it online somewhere. Maybe a specific question about operation or cleaning could be answered for you.

To finish my yes,- while you are waiting for it to arrive, spray the old screws with PB blaster and get a burner cleaner tip to do the proper maintenance while it is apart. Be sure to test and clean the pilot light nozzle as well. Fifteen minutes now could save you agony this winter

It takes about 5 minutes really. Go to youtube and look up tutorials. Super easy and great upgrade.

The installation is probably 15 minutes with basic tools. Only complaint is they sometimes get moisture instead. Then it looks really tacky.

I just winged it. I also used so bearing grease. It took me 3 hours and it hardly got used.

It depends on temp and humidity. IMHO waiting too long is worse then removing early. When too dry it's hard and takes a lot too remove. Too early and you're just moving it around. You'll know as you start removing it if you have to wait a little longer. Typical 80 degree day, I'd say less than an hour. Obtw I would not put on in direct sun unless I worked small sections at a time.

I would try spaying some grease first. If that doesn't last long yes replace.

No. The kit was installed four months ago and no longer have them. It took couple hours to switch things over allowing for epoxy to dry. Looks great when finished. Good luck!

Approximately 20 minutes if you already have your tools handy. It is simple.
