You got a good start with the two bolts. Now with a long skinny
straight-blade screwdriver, loosen the clamp on the hose going to the
throttle body and the other hose going to the black box sitting behind the
drivers headlamp. Now take that black plastic housing out of the way and
look down at that remaining black box. You'll see two spring steel clamps
that you can push off with your fingers. Now tilt the lid out, push back on
it to disengage the row of plastic tabs along the other side and you now can
see the air filter. Twas a great place to put it, huh.........

Isn't that the stupidest place for an air filter, just changed mine again
too. Who though that up? So much for ergonomic placement of routine
maintenance parts, doing the spark plugs too next weekend, yay take all the
crap in the way out first shred some knuckles and then viola, you can get
the plugs out. At least you can replace them with some good Bosch Platinums.

Do yourself a favor and don't use Bosch plugs. I've taken too many sets out
and put Champions back in to cure drivability problems. Usually it is a
stumble off idle, surging at 40-45 mph and long crank times.
