Tried liquid wrench, razor blades and a heat gun to try and loosen the seal. No luck
I was originally going to cut off the filter and try to chisel off the ring using the drain holes, but I think I’m going waive the white flag and take it into a shop. Between time and tools, I’m trying not to think about how much money I will have “saved” doing this myself.

Haha, yeah that’s fair. I thought I was doing it right initially but YouTube quickly proved me wrong. It hasn’t budged a millimeter either way — as posted above it’s the seal that I can’t seem to break
