So much to learn from "necropsies". A plumber's pipe cutter could do this neatly.
Elinor: I'd guess that the local AC shop might donate an old one to cut open.

I tried my pipe cutter. Wouldn't cut it. It's a hard steel tube. End up using a hack saw, hence the crappy cut. The desiccant bag was intact but I see the point of filter on outboard side.
