Thank you Graham
In answer to your first question, yes (12 volts)! I put it in at the bottom of the fuel run and connected to the flexible pipe up to the AC pump.

An e-bay £31.89 jobbie. Does the job but I had a lot of problems with leaking threads and then the metal filter housing cracking when I tried to undo it.

The winder seems to be held by a spring loaded ball like on the control knobs, but there doesn't appear to be a way of compressing it to release.

Yes of course 12v. been working on my vintage Swift & Citroen all week so have 6v systems on the brain!

The winder sounds like getting a flat bladed screw driver on either side (or get a small 2 leg puller) of the winder base and applying upward/outward pressure whilst someone wiggles the winder mechanism. The spring loaded ball should move itself. Some WD40 /AC90 first should help.
