Removing air-filter

[eiblish]

:coolman: I am sure this is an elementary subject to many of you, but how do I remove the stock filter to switch with a K&N. I see that the filter box is secured by a single bolt and an O-clamp, but it does not look as though removing those will allow enough movement of the box. What else must be moved or loosened to get the job done. Any advice will be much appreciated.

I took these pics when I did a PHP airbox, but it should give you an idea and should still help. Click me please.

You could also loosen the upper worm clamp and take the elbow, MAF and airbox out as a unit, but I prefer to just take out the airbox. To each his own.

Super instruction!!! Although mine will be a simple filter swap, I had to follow through the entire process you laid out. Photos were superb, and even I could do the job with this help. Thanks again.

Just remove the 8mm screw and the clamp, then you can MUSCLE the box out. You will touch the upper radiator a lil, no worries, it will come out. Don't be afraid to put some elbow grease in it..

then have a :beer:

agrees with ken.

1 clamp, 1 bolt.

You will want to take off the snorkel. And you will want to clean and re oil your k&n everytime you change your oil and filter.

I thought it filtered better with some dirt on it and you're suppose to go 50,000 before cleaning?

Hehe, you got that right. Looks like soup in the summer.

I think 3000 miles for the K&N may be a little overkill though. But hey, it's your car. Clean it everyday for all I care
