I have found the little DCT filter a little difficult to remove. The temptation is to take a couple of small screwdrivers 180 degrees apart to catch the edges of it and pry it out but I did not want to risk damaging the machined edge of the filter housing.
I took a piece of wire from the handle of Chinese take-out container and bent it to suit the task. The quarter is in the photo for a scale size reference. The tool slips in the small gap between the filter and housing and when turned a little the hook end catches the inner edge of the filter to pull it out.
