LOL, I finally got around to this today. The filter arrived this past week and I figured it was a good time to toss it in. When I squeezed the filter at the top, the whole thing came apart and shot half way across the driveway Hmmmm. I went back and reviewed the Bansai diagram only to realize the spring was mounted completely backwards indicating someone else has had this out previously or such work is coming from the factory (date code on the filter aligns with the mfg date of the car).

I corrected it per the diagram and all seems well.
