How do get to the screen on the oil pump for cleaning. I removed the one screw on the top cover but the cover wont budge. Am I missing something?

There are 2 different pumps. One does not have any screws on the cover and are not re-buildable. The other should have 2 screws on the cover and are removable. You can also remove the bottom plate and pull the screen off there. If I were cleaning the pump, I would remove both, the cover and the bottom plate and clean inside the housing.
