Air Filter Removal

[Belleveu1]

I just checked my air filter and found the hose quite difficult to get off. Like others I found that if you release the 3 clips first and make sure that the hose clamp is loose enough to slide to the bellows, you can work the hose off.

I found that get it on, I had to first slide the cover into the rear slots and then hold the front as high as the body metal would allow and then I could work the hose back on. Not any real room to spare, but it wasn't that bad. Fortunately the 3rd clip, which is under the hose goes on easily.

I changed my oil, cabin air filter and air filter this weekend, the air filter was the hardest part but it was not all that difficult. The space is not very large and the hose was a tight fit but it did go back together again.
