So from my info you will see that I have a Pentair FNS+48 DE filter. Over time removing the clamp assembly to clean my filter has become a real workout. I replaced the barrel nut a year ago and thought I had solved the problem. Apparently the bolt itself can become stripped over time. This is an expensive part to replace. Anyone had success just replacing the bolt and not the entire clamp assembly? Many thanks...

Very likely could be! Had no idea you could replace just the bolt. I’ll do my best to measure but it’s assembled right now because I can’t get the barrel nut to budge. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
