Moved from here Hayward Cartridge Filter Locking Knob Repair
I'm having a hard time fixing this problem. I replaced the washer and the E Ring, but as I try to put the top cartridge together, the thing is not tightening all the way leaving water to leak at the middle seal. As I try to tighten it anymore, the locking knob won't budge and the seam bringing the 2 pieces of the cartridge uneven. I'm at my wits end with this as I have been on this for the past 2 days for hours trying to fix this. Please help
