A critical operation is cleaning the entire air dryer well. Even a small amount of dirt dropped into the dryer body when removing the filter will cause problems later.
Run your MH rears up on 6" solid wood ramps before you drain all air pressure to give you elbow room underneath.
You don't need to remove the entire Halidex dryer, the instructions with the new filter should describe how to remove 2 of the 3 mounting bolts so you may pivot the unit inboard, after removing the air lines, enough to replace the filter and install the rebuild kit.
FWIW, when I did mine, after I had it apart I discovered I didn't need a kit, I just needed to clean everything and replace.
That's also when I discovered my discussant filter was the original___. Previous owner had never changed the filter in 12 years (it was stored for 8)
