I've got an air compressor, what exactly needs blown? Or how would I go about pulling the screen?

I would say this isn't unlikely, as it spills diesel like mad if I actually try to use it. But the last time I used it was after changing the filters and the car ran fine since then. I can try replacing it with one off another car, but man are these things difficult to remove!

Thanks!
