once removed..make sure you dont pull out the rubber grommets..

move the assembly a bit closer to use the angled pliers...

notice the orientation of the pliers to get to the clamp...

btw.. while pullin..put one finger to cap off the end of the filter..

again to avoid bein splattered...

bring it to me and i'll replace it for a 12pack of beer



Good write up Jio, you may also want to consider relocating the filter while you're at it... will make it a lot easier to do next time around.
