Ok, most of you guys are just going to laugh when you read this. I am very aware of that, but damnit I just have to ask because I CANNOT figure it out. How in the world do you replace the air filter. I spent a good hour jus trying different things and I can't get the damn thing out. All the bolt/screw things are all rusted like a mo fo and I don't know if I can unbolt that box, or if you even need to. Please help a novice out... ohmy.gif

first, yes you have to unbolt all the air box bolts, next disconnect intake tube from the maf, remove all related wiring to remove maf with air can and wrestle the can/filter/maf assembly out. ive found that to be the easiest way but maybe someone else has a better response.
