the hks filters there shoukd be a replacement element you buy from.itg or a supplier and then its a case of removing the old and fitting the new.  i suppose you could just wash it with water and let it drybefore reinstalling.

There is an oil that they specify to use.....I cannot for the life of me remember what it is. Probably best to contact them direct, I know it's something fairly common. :happy2:
