On yoke first stages like the DST, the filter element (or guard) is a flat white disc that you push into the yoke retainer. Is there an easy way to remove these on disassembly? The manual says to push them out with a 6mm hex key, but they don't want to come out.
 
You can use a thin screw driver or whatever to angle it out from the top if you have problems to push it out from below. With time those white plastic discs get stiffer, so you might have to use quite some force.

Since you should replace it anyway, damaging it in the course of the process is not a big concern......:)
