Pressing the new one back in place also required quite a bit of effort, even though I slopped diesel fuel and a bit of white lithium grease on the inner seals to try to help the lubricity. The center seals stick to the center plastic section and it really feels like I was close to breaking something before I got it to move. Removal requires a couple of screw drivers or small pry bars on each side to lever it out. The two hardest jobs are removing the old filter element, and pressing the new one back in. The "olympic" shaped o-ring sticks to the cover and is easy to pull off but the new one (also included with the filter element) must be pressed down into the grooves on the center section of the filter. The large double o-ring gasket is easy to remove from the cover, but installing the new one (included with the filter element) requires large hands due to the slippery diesel fuel. Removing the cover is a simple matter of removing 4 T30 screws and levering it open with a screw driver. The unit itself is almost identical to this one: However, the photos shown in the links posted in the second message of this thread cover it as well as anything I could have done. There's just too much diesel fuel splashing around and on my hands to want to get it on my camera. ![]()
