RE: What do you suppose happened here?

I think the bottom of the filter stuck to the gasket because it was not primed with oil upon installation, and when pulled on for removal, the oil soaked filter sheared in half.

Just my guess, based on the image in Wayne's article.

Was a lot of pulling force required to remove the filter?
