I am about to put a pipe wrench on it and go all caveman, but I am pretty sure I can render it un-re-useable (being brass it is pretty soft).
I don't begrudge Jim K the profit on one of his reconditioned filters, and as a last resort I will buy one and pay shipping and core charge to get it. But I would rather not spend that much logistical effort, not to mention more of my favorite dollars, to get one.
Anyone?

It is just a piece of brass tubing, threaded at each end, stuffed with some
metallic gauze filtrating medium. you are going to put some teeth marks on
it removing it, file them off, or leave them alone. locate the wrench close
to the wiper motor for best results.

Wrap a piece of leather or thin,tough rubber around it to protect it from
the Stillson wrench & honk away!
(Better yet, throw the whole antique monstrosity away and install my
electric wiper kit! :-) )

Try putting a piece of leather such as an old belt over it before using the pipe wrench. A piece of canvas can also work.
