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...

My problem is getting the the thing that clamps onto the canister to come out far enough to take out my filter and throw a new one in. I'm assuming that the giant mass of electronics inside the filter is the MAF. It is so f'n long that I can't jimmy it out of there for anything. I've had it pulled out fairly far, but not far enough to get it out of the engine bay or ever move it out of the way temp. to take out the filter. I never knew changing and air filter was so troublesome....
 Thanks guys for all your help though, I really appreciate it. -------------------- |
