On the driver's side of the engine is a sort of road draft tube with a cannister on top. I think there's a filter in there that I should change.
There is a bolt on top of the cannister, but upon removing the bolt, the cannister doesn't seem to want to release.
Is there something else that may be holding it on?
Thanks
Jim

The rubber gasket is probably just stuck,try a rubber mallet to loosen it   Carl

When You get it off run a piece of Wire through the Tube that goes back into the block and be sure its not plugged up or remove the 2 Screws holding it onto the Block and clean it.  Its the return Tube for oil. Some of the Filters You buy are too long so the Can won't go back on properly. Check the Length and trim if required.
