I then inspected it and it didn't have on on. so I slipped the one I tried to put on up farther. It was a pain to get the canister on tight as it was now slippery. I got it as tight as I could and will keep an eye on it.

The oil filter extraction tool I got a walmart didn't even fit.. I borrowed my neighbors craftsman rubber strap thingy. looked like one of those things used to get lids off of jars

I'd watch using a rubber strap device, or anything else that grabs the cannister by its sides, they can lead to cracked canisters. Get a proper fitting tool, they are pretty cheap and live forever.........the size is 74MM
