How do you get the sreen filter out, located in rear differental. Tube goes under PTO shaft turns and back against rear of housing, support arm is bolted to bearing plate, removed support bolt and ? to remove.
Thanks

The PTO shaft must be removed. It is also easier if the hitch cover is removed, you can then change the return filter as well.
