3. Remove the T-handle and lid from the top of the filter assembly.
4. Remove the element by holding the bail handles and slowly pulling upward
with a twisting motion.
5. Dispose of the old element properly.
6. Replace the old lid gasket and T-handle O-ring with new seals (supplied
with the new element).
