No I didn't have to drill and spot welds. The bowl simply pulled off after undoing the wing nuts. Inside there is a baffle holding all the filter elements/screens in place. It was held in by 4 little machine screws with square nuts. Took them out and removed the baffle. Then I pulled out the elements/filters. I just sandblasted the body as is. I found I could easily get the grit to go down the sides of the inner and outter body without problems. It's been on my carrier for almost ten years now without any issues.

Got it apart
Thank you, i took the baffle off today, or whats left of it and the mesh came out. As you can see mines a bit worse for wear, not got my sandblaster set up at the moment so its soaking in mollasses now.

John, Is it worth looking at converting it to take a paper element?
With the need to make up bowls, a little modification in that area may lend its self to the installation of a cleaner, more efficient filtration system. Just a thought. E-mail to follow soon, on a different subject.

POR it John, as when it dries it will flash rust.... Alternate a wire brush wheel on a grinder cleans it up to a shine ��
