I was changing the oil on my Electra X today and changed the main oil filter - I began to doubt the order for re assembly, I assume this is the right order: large O ring, filter, large O ring, thin plate, small O ring, spring, cover, small O ring on nut? It would be helpful if the spring went on first so that it self ejected?
Also do the two narrow wire mesh tubes fit over an internal tubes in the sump? Perhaps the heat is addling my brain but was just wondering.

Check out the Electra X Parts Book Online that has very kindly been offered to all on this very website. You'll find the Electra X listed under 500cc Indian Bullets. Click on the Timing Cover page, and you'll see a clear diagram of the oil filter assembly order which should put you right. Good luck!
