    Just pull on the filter with a little force and they'll break off.

    u can use a small bit and drill them out...some have used a screwdriver/chisel and popped them off...or if u dont plan on ever putting it back in, put a slit through the filter and just rip it out w/ some force

    Well i got it out. That thing is thick. Pried it out but broke the frame to the filter. I don't guess that will cause it to fail the Maryland Emission testing.
