I have been reading up on these twin disk 5062 as I prepare for season ending oil swap. Looking at the picture below, can someone explain how to remove the suction screen. It looks like a bolt and o ring, but will the screen just come out or will I need to insert something to pry it out? Thank you for any help.

Took a few pics and think I have a better idea after examine further. My plan to remove bolt and washer, use bolt to free screen plug, sound correct? Going to order replacement o-rings in advance, not sure if necessary…
