How do you remove the plate from the block that a spin on oil filter seals against? I removed the center fastener and cannot get the plate off.



thanks

someone must have put some kind of glue on it.

The only thing holding the plate in place is the bolt.There is a seal behind the plate that may be holding it to the block.Try working a thin blade scraper around the edge of the plate between it and the block.

Thanks.



I got more aggressive with the plate and it came off.

Try using a heat gun to soften the rubber seal,that worked for me.   Carl
