38 Air cleaner maintenance / Overhaul

I have the carb out for an overhaul and thought I should probably do the aircleaner but it appears to be sealed except for the lid which is held on by a thumbscrew. What do you do for maintenance / cleaning of these?
Thanks
David

Wash and re-oil the mesh. That is all it requires.

Many thanks Alan. Any particular type of oil?
