To get mine out it had to be broken into many pieces. PITA because it fits too well!
At some point the "cone" broke off as it was loose when I pulled out the dusty filter element (a ton of dust was released in the removal process, BTW.) I don't think my attempts at removal broke off the cone, but I can't be certain. Once I had the filter media off, I had to beat on the retaining ring quite a bit to break it for removal. I was glad I had a spare to look at, so i could study how I might remove it.
