"i reject your reality and substitute my own" - adam savage. i suspect my final words maybe "well shit, that didnt work"
instead of perfection some times we just have to accept practicality
a long tube spanner no idea what size it is. the outer tube that makes the housing i think is only pressed in and has a gasket underneath look in the parts book to confirm. might be able to remove it and then use a normal spanner
Are you sure it's not the two thin copper rings that seal the cap and base of the outer shell?
I believe the nut is 1 3/8''. Buy a cheap socket, cut it in half and weld a piece of pipe in between the the two halves. There is an o ring or quad ring at the base.

That part number is the same as the nuts in my D8 filter housing and it takes an 1 3/8" socket.

Thank you Phil for correcting me... I was relying on information posted on ACMOC years ago by another member. I went out and removed one of the cannister nuts and it is 1 3/8''.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
