Has any one ever actually installed one of the spin-on adapters like they sell here (S-42809 Sparex part) on a TO30? How do you get the gasket into place and if you use a little "pookey" to finally stick it into place like I finally did, what kind to finally make it stop leaking?
I am about ready to go back to the cannister, but I switched because the third world suppliers could not quite get the filter gasket diameters cut right and my old one had gotten hard and would not seal perfectly any more. And, of course, I'll have to hand cut the old fiber and vellumoid gaskets that seal the parts of the cannister can together even if I can get lucky on a rubber cap gasket with the filter.
That all said. I'm not new to cannister filter elements. I have owned at least one car or tractor with one for about 60 years, but this one, after owning it for almost 30 years, has me totally frustrated.
