Hi,

Send it back and find a used one from a breaker. No bleeding, not the right connection is not worth fitting in my opinion.

I was looking at getting a replacement one myself after I spotted a leak from one of the bleed points but noticed that all the pictures of replacements seem to have inlet and outlet on opposite sides so just resorted to ptfe tape as a quick fix but probably needs to be helicoiled when I get around to changing the filter. Bit of a pain that nobody seems to offer a proper replacement.
