How to remove shaft from oil filter canister -460

My canister leaks at the top and I want to replace the brass washer on the shaft. How do you get the shaft out? There is a ring inside which keeps it from coming out and am not sure how to get it off.
 
Don't know what your problem is. Mine comes out easily. Try removing the bolt and the canister together. Or if it won't clear loosen the bolt, lift the whole thing and tap on the canister. I have never seen your problem.
 
is the "ring" an old washer that somehow got forced inside and now locks the pices together?

over tightened and worn out soft metals will do crazy things.

You may have an o-ring in a groove holding the large washer from coming out. Will be hard as a rock, later they just used a cotter key through the roll pin that holds bypass plunger in place. Also, the roll pin may have worked out slightly keeping large washer from coming off.

The shaft has been over-tightened so many times that the top of the canister is now deformed and most likely has caused a "lip" to form on the inside of the hole. A new brass washer on the shaft will probably NOT fix the leak. You need to find a better canister.

I fought that same kind of leak on my 1940 H. I took the thing all apart one day and discovered what had happened, and went and removed the camister and bolt from a parts H I have. Presto, no more leak. I now have a nicely painted oil filter canister, complete with the "Purolater" decal just sitting on the shelf collecting dust. It is pretty to look at, but no good to use.
