Have the dealer or other service tech do it for you. You have to REMOVE the band-clamped duct to access the filter housing(if it's the same as a 2002). Then you have to try and get it back on! I just attempted this yesterday and what a knuckle-buster it turned out to be. One part of the duct has an out-of-view tab that needs to be correctly re-inserted and I also had major trouble re-installing duct connection to filter housing. I will never attempt this again. Worst filter exerience I have ever had. Will have service tech check this out as I am uneasy that I have reclamped duct back to housing securely. Not worth the time spent or money saved.
Its really not that bad :) It can be a pain in the A but it can be done. I was able to undo the top clips and pull it away enough to slide the filter down in there. IT can be difficult to some and easy for others. Just be sure to get it put back together correctly. doesnt hurt to try it once, might be glad to save the 20 bucks from the repair place or make you willing to spend it. Good luck :) Answer 3 I just did this. My hands are still dirty while i am typing this. This is not too painful of a job. The air filter box cover has to swivel up, out and off at the top of the duct. The complete ducting and MAF stayed connected to the airbox cover. Be sure to keep old filter buried in its place so that it does not get in the way of swivelling up the air box cover. 1- Disconnect two electrical connectors to MAF and upper duct. Disconnect vacuum like hose at top of duct. (it pops up) 2- Loosen top duct clamp. I loosened the other two also, even though it may not be needed. 3- Compress the ducting while twisting the airbox cover up. At this point mine just popped off. 4- Swap the filter. 5- Reverse order, reconnect wires and hose. Start car to check for leaks. Ta-Daa!
