External transmission filter

Anyone have any luck changing the external transmission fluid filter, without breaking it or its piping?

You need to use an air impact gun in short bursts to loosen it.

I have always read to do it on the return. Matter of fact happened in line on the return on my 7.3. Had the nice external from diesel site but didn’t get a chance to install it.
