OK, I'm in the process of changing oil/filter in the W500 361, and removing the oil pan dent and installing a new pan gasket.
I loosened the large nut at the bottom of the oil filter canister, and it screwed out just over an inch and won't come out any further. The canister is still tight to the block. Before I go tapping or twisting the canister, how do you properly remove it?
Thanks,
Will
