[TR] Purolator filter sequence?

[bill beecher]

Follow up: I found, for lack of a better term, a ‘step grommet’ at the Ace hardware.  Fits tight on the shaft and the collar fits the hole in the cup washer.  It looks like it will all be a good tight fit, final application will tell.  

Now, to attack that circlip, PO left it off all together.

As I recall (it's been a lot of years), I propped the head of the bolt
against the base of the bench vise and used a long rod of some sort to hold
the spring compressed, then a tool like

to snap the clip into place.

I don't understand your comment about the hole being much bigger.  ISTR I
put mine together just as shown in the diagram, with the rubber washer under
the head of the long bolt.  Not a tight fit through the cupped washer, but
the rubber washer helps fill the gap.  

If you think yours is leaking between the big cupped washer and the main
housing, you might want to epoxy them back together.
