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...

turbohcar, that is what I've tried, twice now. The damn radiator hose stops you from pulling the thing straight out, and I've tried every way I can possible think of to jimmy it out, and nothing works. The stupid maf sensor is soooo long that you can't just pull it out at an angle... this is really pissing me off b/c my air filter is soooooooooooooooo damn dirty and I know its robbing me hp and gas mileage.....  </rant> -------------------- |
