Anybody ever remove the bottom from a charcoal canister? I have a perfect condition canister housing, however the filter paper in the bottom has deteriorated and fallen apart. Now the charcoal can fall out. The replaceable filter will not hold the charcoal in place. I was planning to remove the bottom of the canister housing and insert a new paper filter and put the charcoal back in. I can't remove the bottom of the canister. It seems like it might be glued in place. I made a spanner wrench to fit the two holes in the bottom assuming the bottom threaded on the housing. I can't move the bottom. Knowing this is plastic (and 43 years old) I didn't put too much stress on it.
Can anyone lend some advice?
