That's how you do it. I don't think a leaking vent hurts performance, it just leaks fuel.
When you get enough on you bawls it hurts performance..
As precious answered, you push it out from inside. Inside the black plastic parts is a sintered plastic disc.
Fish hook removal pliers made that simple. Thanks.
Did not see problem with the old one but my eyes do not work well at close small stuff.
I suppose the saw is old enough to leak a little.
Dealer told me the leak would affect carb tuning. I was skeptical but learned not to say anything.
For years when someone asked me what new saw to buy, I reply one from a dealer you like or get along with. Still my standard answer.

A blocked vent will affect tuning. A leaking vent will not.
In production, some supplied batches of tank vents were not sufficiently porous.
The engine tune would become leaner and leaner as the tank contents was consumed.
The fix was to punch 2 or 3 tiny holes in the white disc with a stainless steel wire tool.
Stick with a good dealer though.
