When you remove the oil filter, it will reveal a hidden nut, approx 25mm.
It won't take much to budge it. Loosen that off and the adaptor ring will come loose. I suggest loosening the two oil pipes first.
As always expect some mess.

I don't remember there being any seals, I just used the old vasaline in between the 2 surfaces.

The seal between the adaptor ring and the oil pump cover is the same as an oil filter seal - re-use an old oil filter seal for this...
