How do you remove the plastic housing in order to replace the filter, thanks?

There are 4 simple lever clips on the Air Cleaner box. 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. Simply release these and the intake cover will slide back about 4 inches. After replacing the filter you must make sure the cover is aligned perfectly or you won't be able to get the clips tp grab. Changed my first air cleaner 2 days ago for the first time and it took me about 3 minutes because I had to wiggle the cover a couple of times to get it seated properly.
