2nd gen secondary air filter/ mass flow filter?

My secondary filter has mud stuck in it from a while ago. I was wondering can I remove this or is there a way to take it out and clean it?

 

Use a soldering iron to heat up those plastic rivets and pop the filter out. Then use a high quality air filter.

 

Mine popped right out

 

That's a charcoal/ carbon filter, to trap fuel vapors.
Really, it should not be dirty at all.

 

I would consider the Rug Doctor method, using a squirt bottle, wet it down and try shop vacin' it out?

 

Hey that's a badass idea thanks.

 

Ya I know it shouldn't have mud I had to show up this big lifted Chevy Blazer in a mud big when I first got it. Wasn't the smartest but sure was fun.
