With a hammer and flat faced punch, tap downward hard on and around the outside edge a few times, then try to unscrew it again. Let me know if this works for you because there is another method also. This one is the easiest. Hopefully you won’t find any rust inside.
Hi Bob….I got it loose…I did what you said to try and then got on it with an oil filter wrench that slides up from the bottom and clamps tight on it…it still took some pretty good force to get it to move…I think I bent the bracket a little bit…but everything looks ok…Thanks for the help…
Good news. Be sure to swipe a film of fuel around the neoprene gasket before you install it as that will make it much easier to get off next time. And be sure not to over tighten. :good:
