Cleaning Fuel Strainer

Over the past few years I have changed the fuel filters on my '99 U320 but I have not cleaned the metal fuel strainer that is in the clear plastic cylinder.  I have been reluctant to try to open the plastic can for fear of breaking it.  I can not see an obvious way to unscrew the top or bottom or both. 

Can someone describe the proper way to open and clean the screen. 

Thanks,

Richard
