weighted flap and heat flap removal

[type1vwjapan]

do you guys have any tips on how to remove these from an oil bath air cleaner? might have to for cleaning and painting one.

I obviously don't want to break the plastic tab that holds them in place or bend anything.

what about putting them back in? do they just clip back into place or does the have to be adjusted?

thank you!

can you just pull these put with your fingers by pulling down? afraid to use pliers or too much pressure, might crack or break them. them seem somewhat delicate.

I pinched mine gently with needle nose pliers and pulled gently if memory serves.

Just be really careful
