Thanks! I don't have an air compressor, but sent string trimmer line down the 2 front drain holes, and wiped out all that black greasy lubricant from the tracks. It occured to me the lubricant might actually be needed to help with a tight seal. In which case, wiping it all out of the tracks could cause leakage in itself. Guess I'll find out.....

THANK YOU so much for this vid!! I literally made ‘washers’ from 2 (1 wasn’t sufficient) plastic roofing nail caps, as we are an hour one way from a home improvement store. I cut them to fit around the top of filter w my husband’s box cutter. I slipped them inverted stacked in one another over the post nipple of the filter housing. I feel the filter is a bit stressed but I’m expecting to replace (permanent correct fix) the entire part anyway so not that worried. I just can’t believe that one tiny plastic piece caused this issue at filter change time. Stay safe sir-thanks again!!

@@sshawn09 My 2010 has a Mazda motor that's great but a ford-mounted idler pulley ripped off the front cover of the engine at 45k (traveling at 25 mph ) simply from it's own normal tension and a poor design. Very complex repair for no good reason. Had to pull the crank pulley, retime the valves, woulda cost thousands because they underspecced the part. Replacement pulley had the three bolts the original should have had and would not have failed. Not covered by Ford after warranty. Rear latch failed. Never thought some of these things would go out. Something in the key and steering wheel I had to re-engineer., I forget. Windshield wiper motor. What else, was it a throttle body ?...I forget. Quite a few things before 60 k. Wipers failing. And the roof racks have problematic mounting that rusts holes in the roof. Great. I may be spoiled from a lifetime of Toyota/Nissan but I see a lot of cheap inadequate parts, areas of lazy design and other poor stuff on a vehicle that still mostly does it's job, drives and handles well, is quiet. Not bad, not good. Mine is old but low milage still hasn't broken 100k Of course I've had to do all the usual stuff that is maintenance; flushes, brakes, struts, a lot of suspension replacement no complaints, but it's clear the vehicle is pretty lightweight too. Not tough. I don't regret it, but next mini-SUV will be a used Rav4.

@@sshawn09 Yep, thanks. That pulley was an incredible fail. Happened at 25 mph one evening the day before our first trip through the mountains on the new (used) 40k vehicle. There were three holes in the cover but they must have saved millions by speccing a two-bolt pulley mount. Of course, Ford took full responsibility for their error! (not). It's a known issue with the 2.5L engine of that era. Huge potential fail for a small savings. I like my Escape in many ways and it's not all bad news or anything but again, they have too many parts failures to be anomalies. It is (or was) indicative of a corner-cutting approach.

The washers I found [ 9/16" ID x 3/4" OD x 1/32" Thick 304 Stainless Steel ] didn't work, maybe because they weren't thick enough, or because the small plastic release valve needed to be pushed up even more than what the washer was able to lift (which I tested manually). The garden hose washer also didn't work, nor other metal washers I tried because they were too thick for the filter to completely turn & lock. Certainly "built-in-obsolescence" - no reason why that valve should ever fail. I ended up getting a [ GE WR17X22066 Refrigerator MWF Water Filter Head & Tubing ] for $64 from AMz. It wasn't hard, but wrote down the steps I needed to do before hand, so that I could just follow during the process, & make sure I turned off the circuit breaker every time I had to work on the water lines, & making sure there were no leaks before turning it back on. Another solution might be to find a way to attach, glue or epoxy some other piece of something of the same diameter to that plastic valve that would allow the valve to go higher, & no mo more than perhaps an extra 2/16" (1/8") - which is all you need. Thanks for the great video, which certainly saved me a lot more time than I spent on the job.

The valve failed because they used a soft plastic. If you can imagine a V design that gets pushed in to open the valve, that V kept getting shorter and shorter. Changing the filter also gave it compression at an angle - also collapsing the V length even more. Thats why the hack is to put a washer in there, to squeeze it up a little higher.
