Yea man. My friend who was with me passing tools, couldn't believe it either. I told him I tried it again, and it worked. His first reply was how the F*&^. I couldn't explain. I mean I though I plugged it in correct the first time, then second time when I switched the line. And somehow plugged it in correctly with the old filter. Shit.

Well at least I can drop that HUGE ASS cover in like 2 minutes now. lol. thanks for your help.
