Process is simply diluting the old fluid until you get mostly new, from what I can see. I've read that some members regularly use a turkey baster (to suck fluid out) and simply top up with fresh fluid, as a maintenance regime. I will admit that one of the hoses on my reservoir appears to be leaking slightly, so I should inspect it and may as well change the reservoir if that's the only way to do the filter, at the same time as putting on decent hose clamps/inspect hoses etc. Again - thanks for the info.

There is no way to clean the filter. It's not expensive here in the UK but I believe you Aussies get fleeced harden then we do.
My hoses were leaking too. I just used some new jubilee clamps. If the leak persist I will change the hoses...some people cut the swollen end off but I will just replace.
