I seem to recall I had the intercooler off on the last truck that needed CAS work, and i lay over the top of the engine.

Just wondering why you didn't put the mini filter back in.

Ah.....Ok Spud.............Yours is probably the same type as mine then, but I think they aren't removable as I looked into removing mine when I needed to clean it ...........you just need clean them in situ in the bolt.It's handy if you have some acetone or paint thinners and an airline to blow it out.
When I did one on a Mazda Bongo diesel engine it had a removable mini filter which was slightly easier to clean.
