I actually have a copy of an SAE paper somewhere detailing and testing various air filters cleaning procedures. Tapping on a flat surface and vacuuming works, but tapping on a flat surface then blowing air from the inside out works even better.

I sucked (well the cleaner did) from the outside so I hope that is the same thing. My one spot of 'fun' on my journey to work tomorrow will prove if this has worked.
