hey guys, today i dropped the transmission fluid for the first time (for me) and everything was going smoothly until i removed the transmission oil filter.
the O ring on the end of the filter is stuck up inside the intake port. has anyone got any clue on how to get it out? i've tried the obvious bent wire trick, but i can't get a good grip on it.
i also tried taking the new o ring off the new filter and shoving it up in the port, but it doesn't go up far enough and the pan won't fit over it.
this is seriously ****ing me off, and i know its an easy fix. my last resort is cutting the rubber part of the ring, and then trying to pry out the metal part. but that is messy and could cause damage to the port.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
