Has anyone had a problem with getting the filter out of the housing once off the engine? All was a breeze until I tried to remove the filter itself.

I presume you are talking about the OIL filter, if so, then they are a bit tricky to pull out of the plastic cap set up. they can be a bit tight and sometimes they break off, leaving a small portion in the bottom, check the new filter and compare it with the old one, make sure you have all the bits,? I usually sand the edge of the disc section at the bottom of the new filter, this makes it fit better and also aids smoother removal next time, HTH Fitzy
