Easy Maxtrac muRata filter removal instructions.

I found an easy way to remove and jumper the muRata filters in the Maxtrac. You can do it without removing the board.
This is just if you are going to jumper them, not replace them.
Slice the plastic label the long way down the middle of the top with a razor blade.
Peal it off completely.
Pry the metal holding the ceramic off the sides with a knife blade (just enough to crack it free).
Lift out the ceramic (and show to friends).
Heat the plastic insulators with a slodering iron and pull them off (do NOT just pull on them as you will rip the stud out).
Solder a wire jumper across the studs, (don't heat too much or the stud will fall out).
Done!
