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

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
