You can take out the charcoal filters without destroying them. I took mine out and was able to keep them intact. A couple of reteining clips were left in the housing and were easy to remove and put them back on the filters (for storage).
Use a butter knife or medium flat blade screw driver. Wedge it in between the filter and housing. Pry out a little at a time and work clockwise. Be patient and gentle. It will come out with out marking or damaging the housing or filter.
Good luck. It can be done. I can take photos of the intact filters as proof.
