Finally had time to dig into my 2001 ST1100 to try to remedy the Oil light issue I had last year. I replaced the pressure switch which did not fix the issue so with the reasonable cost of a new oil pump I decided to remove and replace the pump as I figure I have a problem with the pressure relief valve on the pump.
After reading the repair manual and removing the clutch and oil pump the one item the manual talks about replacing is the o-ring on the Oil Jet which reside above the pipe that the oil filter threads on to. This is the little silver button you see above the oil filter pipe when you remove the filter. In the Honda repair manual it is referred to as (8) Oil Orifice on page 4-4 of the Lubrication System or the Oil Jet seen in Photo 127 on page 187 of the Clymer manual.
The question I have is how do you remove this jet to replace the o-ring, on my bike it is pushed in flat so there seems to be no way to grasp it, I ran a pick around the outside of it to see if there was a way to hook it but I can not find a way to get ahold of it. The jet is not made of steel so a magnet did not work so I have run out of ideas.
Most likely I could leave this and it would be no issue but since I am not 100 percent sure of what is causing my issue I am wanting to replace all of the replaceable parts to cover all my bases.
This is the last item I have to pull before starting reassembly so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
