Yes in principle you can take it apart.

I was planning to do so and then publish an expose... in my opinion there isn't enough information about the filter housing on the forum - I'm glad this is now in the process of being remedied.

Anyway I fell at the first hurdle - I couldn't replicate the special tool to remove the end screw caps to get into the guts. Also I'm running out of cash for this project and can't justify ripping that bit apart as well was the rest of the car. I'm quite sure I've found the one bit that is OK.

So funola if you have a spare one that you are planning to pull apart please post pictures of the guts and gore.
