There were three tabs welded to the inner tube popped welds with screw driver and the ring popped out . Not very servicable like my 8 n steel wool media.

My old cleaner was not dented up so all I did was clean it. I just took it off and soaked it in 3 gals of kerosene for about 5 hours, then rinsed it in clean kerosene until the kerosene rinse was clean.
Surprising just how much dirt was in that thing.

Let it drip dry for 8 hours on the old wood wagon bed, placed new oil in the oil bath reservoir, good to go.

It may just be me, wanting it to run better after a good air filter cleaning, I do believe it idles and runs better.

Yup, some are ?arguably? Easier to just flush because of that
