I was thinking the same. Most of the spin on mounts have removable 
nipples that the filter screws over. If that is the case you could 
remove the faulty one and replace it. The other option would be to 
replace the nipple with one that was replaceable. I've done that a few 
times on hydraulic filter mounts. Someone cross threads a filter OR they 
have king kong tighten it and strip the threaded nipple.
