its a maintenance part; so if you go out to your car and want to get it off you will. I disconnected the top (easier) tube first then had someone hold onto the filter while i used pliers to wriggle the bottom off the little nipple

word I just read it up and saw a video, doesn't look to difficult. Did you pull the fuse prior to wiggling off the hoses so there is less pressure?

Well, my mech didn't pull the fuse, he just had a towel to soak up the
spray and it wasn't that much.
