I don't think you can remove it without damage...
I've replace my fluid every year for the last 5 years of ownership, and every year I try to remove the screen without success. So this year I got a wide blade screwdriver & thin nose pliers, gave it a good yank and strong leverage from the sidewall - it came out with a pop but the plastic ears are slightly gnarled now.
Damn thing....
