It's stuck by the paper gasket. Pry harder!

I have never worked on an LT but does the adapter screw up in there?

Just a suggestion....no experience..... replace an old filter on the base,
and tap, wrench, anything to loosen the base without damaging the base.
The filter will absorb the punishment, not the base.

I'm aware of the space limitation in that area.

I'm not responsible any mishaps.

Now, take your time replacing base so there are no leaks.
