Weistec Engineering Aluminum Oil Filter Cover With Drain

Went back in to install this aluminum oil filter cover.
Changed my oil the other day but thought the Weistec unit was faulted. It needed the ‘fastening’ piece from the existing cover removed, and then installed in it. I didn’t know that. Saw it on YouTube for another aluminum cover replacement.
Used the below seen long nose vise grip gingerly to get the piece out of the existing cover. Was easy. Snapped right in the new piece. Was a good thing I bought this piece. The BMW tool would not get the old oil filter cover off. Would just slip. I had torqued it on to 40Nm two days ago. Had to use other tools to get it off. Now will go on & off with a 32mm socket. 6mm Hex for the drain bolt.
