turn it upside down and give it a few sharp downward taps onto a piece of wood . The element should fall out

Replacement element ryco R2374P fits but it comes with an O ring seal so you need to cut your owm gasket.

If the filters have not been changed particularly the ones mounted horizontal in the frame rail tend to get slugged in very tight. The one on my C60L I don't think had been changed and it had to be removed by pulling the filter apart after the little pull wire pulled out.

Be sure to check the filter housing carefully after cleaning mine had several little pin holes on the bottom side. These didn't show until the inside had been cleaned to bare metal and the paint removed from the out side. They were easily weld by drilling the pin holes out then making a curved brass backer plate. With that clamped tight to the inside mig welded the holes and ground it smooth. Pressure tested to 60 psi with water no leak.

In the US the correct size filter comes with two gaskets, I'll try to find the most recent application cross over and filter numbers. There are two sizes of filter units that I have encountered on my CMPs small early, large late.

I usually soak the air cleaners in kero or petrol , then blow it out with compressed air , being careful not to disturb the wire inside. Petrol is rather nasty stuff, try to avoid spashing it onto your skin if you use it as a solvent.

It's the same as a WW2 Jeep petrol filter . You might source a new element from one of the myriad Jeeps parts suppliers . But you might also get away with a good clean up , the element has lots of brass shim like things that you can dissassemble and clean .

Your Fuel Filter is the same as on my 1942 MB Jeep. When I stripped it down I also had a lot of gunk in the bottom and it cleaned up really well and I spent a bit of time on cleaning the filter and all came up OK and I have not had any problems so far.

Cheers
