I had to replace my shutoff type bolt to the tune of $139 a few years ago, because I could not get it to stop leaking. I've since found a thread which says you can disassemble the bolt to replace in internal O ring. (not the O ring included with the filter)

My goal is to replace the one currently on car, which has knob and is leaking. So this new one I got will work fine, right?
