But I also used a drill to make more room on the plastic holes where the screw connects the 2 filters. And at first I drilled the wrong end of the hole (the one farthest from the fitler) but I needed to make the end closest to the filter bigger, that's where there was tension. So I got it screwed in, and it was still harder to screw it in that I hoped, but it's done. Again, I should have just done the silicone 1st to see before messing w/ the plastic. Here's a pic...feedback welcome. And I included a pic of the ones I replaced. I can't believe for a CPO car w/ 33K miles & $47K, they didn't replace them, they are gross & I am calling my sales guy tomorrow just to say "Bad, bad, bad"...I don't expect them to do anything.

Damn that's pretty awful!
Glad you got them installed. It was t easy for me neither. Luckily I didn't have to do any extra stuff just s but if elbow grease.
