Default crank case vent canister removal

can you clean these or are they sealed and must be replaced? Any big deal to remove to service if they can be cleaned?? I have 02 3500 5.9 24 valve dually. Thanks in advance for all input. Doc

I took mine off and extended it to about 4" below the sway bay with a zip tie to the bar to hold it, no more mess on the front of the engine.

Removed mine and ran a hose to the back side of the motor along the frame. No drips at all. No clogged radiator anymore.
