Pay careful attention to the O-Ring seal around the top lip of the bowl. Do Not Damage.
Using a hook fashioned out of stiff wire and inserted through the siphon bowl inlet tube in the bottom
of the bowl can make lifting the bowl out of the housing easier.

Re-insert the bowl into the housing. Be sure the O-ring is in place and coated with oil.
Inset the new filter into the bowl. Flat end w/o center hole is toward the top or cap. Fig. 2.
Reinstall the cap.
Be sure that the O-ring seal is undamaged & properly seated in the cap groove and coat with oil.
