    How does the Def filter come out on 19 peterbilt cummins. I cannot twist it and can't pull it out. Doesn't come with a tool either.

    Big pair of channellocks or knipex pliers to twist. They are usually pretty tight. The new filer should have the new plug too. The old filter should pull out, sometimes they can be kind of stuck too if there was a lot of restriction.

    If changing due to contamination you should flush system with distilled water
