its quite easy to change. there it clips wich has to be click out and then its free. there comes bit fuel so take something under. you know it by the look of the gas wich comes from it, if its black it useless. suggested that chance it at least once a year.
if you take it out dont put it back just change it.

no just lift the corner up. dont save there, you cant really wash it. get a new one.i guess its paper or alike inside. if the fuel inside is not clear*from the engine side end* get it changed.
just a clips.
