Got it changed out. I used the blue tool...it wasn't the best thing to use as it would warp when force was applied. I would recommend a metal tool.

Sounds like operator error. Tool is inserted to expand the garter spring, then the line only is pulled of off the filters snout. Tool stays with filter.
