Need help with 6.0 fuel filter

While changing my fuel filter, a plastic gear or spacer and an "o" ring fell off from the center post I think and I need an exploded view on how it goes back on. Thanks Mack

Not sure if this is what you need. If not here are the workshop manuals.

Here is the answer in a double thread post:

When I removed the upper fuel filter, a small plastic gear and o ring also came out and I can't find an exploded view of how and where it goes. Thanks, mack

It is the upper filter on top of the engine. I could not find an exploded view in the workshop manuals. It is a grey plastic spacer or gear that also has an "o" ring that goes either on top or bottom and it goes on the shaft that the filter sits on but am not sure which end up, or where the o ring goes..

if you are running aftermarket filters, then it probably came from the filter. if not, you have to replace the filter standpipe in the bowl.

Here's a pic from the "6.0 Bible" that shows a little bit of it, you can see the o-ring on top:
