    The old filter also didn't have the O ring on it like the new one does for some reason. Either I've got a new model with an O ring, the wrong part altogether, or the guy who put on the last one skipped the O ring. 20200906_143301.jpg

    Few posts down I mention I mentioned I was able to remove it. Now I'm overthinking part numbers on this thing.

    So the one I took off didn't have the O ring and reading the installment instructions I found this. Going to make sure mine is one of those listed before I install the new one. 20200906_160634.jpg

    I can buy a brand new AD-9 like that at Scientific for 150.00. Not worth going through them anymore.
