While doing the oil pump upgrade and o-ring fix, i found, what looks like gasket sealer on the pump screen. Does this thing just pry off and pop back on? I would like to clean it good while i have it out. Anyone else do this? I started to pry it at the tabs but it didnt budge, so i stopped before i screwed something up. I know this engine was never apart and i found gasket sealer between the cases while i was scraping the clutch cover gasket off. I guess its from factory assembly.

You need to note the orientation and then pry open the 4 edges where it's dimpled in. When you go back on with it you will lightly tap them back into position.
 
Will do, thanks. I'm gettin there slowly but surely. Heres what i got out of the screen.
