jbarhorst2 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Both are very easy. Which one are you talking about? The engine air filter or the air conditioning air filter? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TunedRX300 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Hi,Is it a complex procedure to replace the air filter by yourself? Any info how to? 10x ← Very easy to do, just locate the air box on the driver side of engine bay. Loosen those 2 clamps and wiggle the top portion that connects to the air hose until you get those two "hinges" clear of plastic reteners. Lift up and you will see the air filter.

jbarhorst2 Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 Exactly right. The hardest part is wiggling the cover out and back in until you get used to it. It can be a little tight when it sticks to the rubber edge on the filter. If you have a shop vac or a vacuum cleaner with a hose I would take just a moment to vacuum out the air box while you have it open.

jgr7 Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Also make sure that the vacum hose at the rear of the box top is still attached or you will get a CEL. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexdog Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 When I attempt to replace mine I remove the 2 clamps but it looks like the MAF or a long hose is connected to one side. Do I have to remove the entire hose thing ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
