    Noo lol the other one. How does it come out of the filter?

    Its obviously threaded in there judging by the replacement I have for it.

    I took the pressure relieving 10mm out and now it has nothing else on that fitting. The fitting is still in there but no socket or anything

    How do I do this lol

    I removed that using a two wrenches. I put one wrench on the fitting across the two flat edges, with the handle of the wrench sticking straight up. I then used another wrench to grab the first wrench and provide leverage to unscrew the fitting. Clumsy, yes, but it worked. I put the fitting back on in the same way.

    Awesome. Went to vatozone and they gave me a diagram of how it is in there and I get it now.

    You would think my OEM manual would have told me? lol. Fail.

    Thanks for the help guys
