I just did an oil change and was replacing the Vanos filter. Watched an ECS video and seemed easy enough. The kit came with a vanos filter, larger o-ring, and a small o-ring. Replacing the large o-ring and filter is no big deal, however the small o-ring must be pried off (as it was also done in the video).

Unfortunately there is a white plastic collar that is also beneath the small o-ring and broke the same time the o-ring did. I have no idea how someone could remove the small o-ring without breaking this collar.

Looking at parts schematics, the collar doesn't even appear in the diagrams. Now I don't know who to proceed. Anyone have experience with this?

Thanks!
