How do you change air filter on 1997 Buick LeSabre?

Answer 1

Located in the big black box in the front drivers side of the engine compartment. First loosen the clamp on the large hose leading to the air box, then pull and twist it to remove it from the intake/plenum, then remove it fully from the air box. Loosen the two screws at the top of the air box (these screws do not need to be fully removed as the will unscrew so far and then want to stay in the housing) and flip the cover back to expose your air filter. Replace the air filter the same way you removed the old one. Then to reinstall the air box cover make sure you have the two locking tabs located at the bottom of the cover in place. Flip it back into place, replace the two screws. Replace the black hose on the air box with clamp in place, then wiggle the other end back on the intake/plenum then tighten the clamp. If the hose doesn't want to go back on the intake very easily, put some vegetable oil, very small amount on the inside of the rubber for lube, vaseline will also work. Done Wayne
