Once you see the arrestor, it can be removed by loosening the clamp bolt a few turns with a pair of needle-nose vice grips....twist the arrestor and off it comes. I'll do my '20 next.
Tried the same procedure on my '20 QT today but failed to loosen the Allen bolt with the needle nose vice grips and remove. Had to drill out all the mesh....worked fine.
