Don't know if this is like the ones on my L300 which has a light colored
retainer which snaps into the main body with two tabs. The tabs are
depressed which releases the retainer to be pulled outward (along the tube).
As I recall, there is only an O-ring seal in the main body against the
filter. You may have to twist and rock gently to loosen up before
separating.
