The only point to be mindful of when removing the filter is that some can be a slight interference fit with respect to the adjacent frame member and if care is not taken the cheese grater metal casing around the filter can easily scratch the frame downtube.

It will pay to wrap a couple of turns of duct tape or similar around the frame to protect it as the filter comes out.

I found that by see-sawing the filter in and out a few times that enough plastic was scraped away inside the airbox cavity to allow the filter to tilt slightly and be easily removed.
Remember to wipe up any plastic shavings inside the cavity if you do this though.
