I too have an SP36 and have changed my air filter many times. The
end cap does not come off of any of the filters I used. You (Ed) did
all but remove the large diameter hose clamp from the air exit hose.
It is very hard to see (feel) and is on the engine side of the filter
canister. Again if you fellows have a filter that has a replaceable
element (by taking off the end cap) then yours is different than
mine. My filter is, except for the large mouthed horn assembly, one
metal unit with a paper filter element contained inside. Interesting
to weigh the new filter and the used one and compare!!
