Air cleaner misadventure

Hello, I am a relatively new owner of a pristine 1979 240D with 260k miles. I decided to change the air filter and in the process sheared off the nut on the top of the air cleaner. For now I have covered the hole on the top with a piece of duct tape. There is a slight toggle to the whole assembly now. Is this normal? The aircleaner still does not lift off. Does this thing rotate as it is removed. Do I have an air leak now? PLease advise.


Thanks,

Kevin
1979 240D
