And you can gain another quarter inch or so by removing the fill tube's cap & dipstick. If you do that, be sure to put a paper towel or some such in the tube opening, just to be sure no stray parts end up inside your expensive Allison transmission.
Once I had the nut & bolt removed, I pushed the fill tube down then used a couple of nylon tie wraps to keep it down until I was finished. Did pretty much the same thing with a clear plastic cover that protects a 110 volt AC electrical outlet higher up. The clear cover has a tab on its left side that is just slightly in the way when attempting to extract the old filter. I raised the cover and secured it in the up position with nylon tie wraps.
