Can someone give me the basics on changing these filters? I know it is a bit messy. Have replacements with new O rings/gaskets.
1) Does the center bolt on top go all the way through to the white knob at the bottom?
2) Is white knob used to open up the filter to drain before changing?
3) The other bolt that is offset on top is to bleed after change is complete, using the lever on the fuel pump. Got that but do I open and bleed them at the same time or one at a time and does it matter which order they are changed?
4) Is there anything unexpected i.e. spring, ball valve, etc. that is going to fall into the bilge when I open this up?
Thanks in advance for any help....first time CAV changer...
