How do I detach the diagonal mounting barrel from the body of the diagonal, as has been done in the linked pics? Do I use brute-force twisting to (presumably) break the Loctite seal or is their a gentler, correct way?

Both ends of the diagonal unscrew, so you can get at the filter.
If you are the original purchaser, then Bintel will replace the filter for free. If, however, you are not the original purchaser ( as I am, bought the scope off IIS, a couple of years ago) then they will want to charge $110 for the service.
Take some photos, send them to Lunt, with the serial number of the scope and they'll send you the new filter. It's a simple matter to install.
