How do you get the filters out of the way? I couldn't see how they
were released.

running front to back that hold the filters in place. A flat "clamp

Does your dust collector have hardware cloth spacers between each
pleat, or is that something that some former owner has added?

I loosened the thumb screws, but the right side of the cabinet blocks
removing them as a whole unit. It looks like I might be able to work
each pleat, one pleat at a time to the left to clear the door, but
it's a tight squeeze and I was afraid of tearing the filter's cloth.
Is that how you get it out? I took photos, but I haven't had an
opportunity to upload them to the dropbox yet.
