Re: oil filter cannister bolt

Sorry, forgot to take pictures before I sent the lid the machine shop.
Anyway, look under the lid and you will see a spring and a bell shaped piece. The bolt has an internal thread, and is peened to hold the spring and bell shaped piece in place. You need to grind the peened spots on the bolt and it will come apart. A dremel has been suggested.
A copper washer should do the trick.
I doubt any of this applies to aftermarket canisters.
