How do you separate the filter cartridge from the lid? I fell like I'm missing something obvious, but I can't do it.

Easiest way is to hold onto the lid and tap the pin protruding beneath the filter on the garage floor. Tap, tap, tap and it usually slides off.

Thanks, that worked perfectly.

I just pulled it off firmly.
