This part stops the big flow you are getting.
Once the oil has stopped dripping, push the plug to the side to pull it off. This part is neat- toyota designed the plug to pull the old O-ring off with it! Kinda cool the way they did that. Both of these parts are trash. It's Ok, throw them away.

Thanks! That is pretty much the same process I follow. However my main question was why so much additional oil spills around the oil filter housing AFTER using the drain. Seems pointless to even use it if you're still going to have the housing still leak, might as well save a step and just drain it straight from the housing when removing.
