Like the title states can this be cleaned out and repaired or do you have to buy a new one?

buy a new one. I think the canister is sealed. I'm not exactly sure what you think you can "clean and repair". Are you gonna fill it back up with some Kingsford Charcoal?

Um, clean out the crud maybe instead of buying a new one for $200. That will buy a lot of kingsford! If you wish to buy me a new one that would be great too.

not really... the canister contains activated charcoal of a specific makeup... and in a specific layer combination...
once it goes bad you are done... you can't get replacement stuff...
If it's just cracked... you can try duct tape...

You work hard, discover that success is not a destination but rather a road you travel upon- mostly up hill. Then, after a while, people going down the other road look up at you, and they call you "lucky."
The E31 guys have done them. Use fish tank activated charcoal. Search over there..and in the E31 DIY.
