Success ! Well kind of. After cleaning up the lake of oil under my truck, I went in for a closer inspection. Went in with a pick to see if I could pull out the old O ring. Nope, must be none on it. Took out the two bolts in preparation for the new adapter, pulled out the old component, and then tried one more time at any potential solidified O ring. Sure enough ! Broke free and pulled it out. I had a few colorful words for this thing but it's now out. I'm taking a short break to celebrate this little victory but in looking at the new adapter with the bypass valve on it, does it make a difference in placement. One way vs 180 degrees the other way , regarding the bypass valve?
