Hi Ninja, am pretty sure its washer on filter nut on its own.
But there again I know nothing am just a driving instructor,
as I was told by someone who can not drive IE no license,
when asked by his mate about the shape of a stop sign???
No I said" its not hexagonal its octagonal"
Had a pet octopus once, it had six legs ??? ;D ;D
Rather have a full bottle in front of me
than a full frontal lobotomy

It IS washer under filter, then upper unit, then nut.
