Just undo the middle pipe then the Big Nut, Thats providing the pipe hasn;t rusted on the nut

No, its not the same as the standard filter 'O' ring, thinner so it fits into the groove on the adpator plate.

 

yea... how do you remove? is it wound on like a filter?

 

Yes, well, its kinda wound on like a filter.

 

Loosen the union for the middle pipe into the adpator plate & then the union underneath that threads onto the oil filter stub on the engine block.
