i attempted to remove/clean mine.... can of WD40, and broken 11mm spanner later i decided it was a job for some other poor sod!
the issue i have with removing it is that by replacing it with a rubber hose, its vulnerable to veg oil attack.. and the theory that it is there for a purpose (namely to stop big turdy lumps bunging up the fuel lines) also leves me reluctant to chop it out.
i`m not saying its vital, most defenders dont have one, and in theory they are more likely (been the worker of the family) to suffer from issues.
BigA:
the next time i am under there, looking at it and thinking, i wonder if i can replace or clean that, i may actually have a go at removing it :roll:

3 simple steps....
1) buy a new one
2) kick, cut, beat & otherwise break the old one off
3) fit new unit

Next job on my list, (as in renewing it, but with a clear bowl version to better see what water/junk is in there), - the only tool going outside for the removal process is the angle-grinder............. :dance:

The thing is I have the world rustiest disco, 100's of chassis holes, bad body rot, and prous copper pipes every where. When I touched the copper pipes going into sedimeter it just collapsed, not unlike my brake lines! So getting rid of it was one last thing go rusty again :roll:
