Pretty much let it squirt out of the hole.

CHANGING AND BLEEDING THE MICROFILTER: (paraphrased)
Replace the microfilter while replacing the engine oil. Remove the 2 hexagon screws and Microfilter cover, remove the filter and replace checking for damage to the o-ring on the micro filter lid. Soak the new filter in new motor oil prior to installation.
It is necessary to bleed the microfilter. To do this remove the jet screw from the oil line on the clutch cover. Start the engine and and close off the oil filler hole on the clutch cover with a rag. Allow the engine to run at idle until oil runs out of the oil line. Stop engine a reinstall the jet screw to 7ft lbs.

Check oil level adding if needed and check for any leaks.
