Remove the Old Air Filter

Locate the Air Intake Box

3

Unlatch the 2 metal clips at the outer side of the box

4

Install the New Air Filter

6

Reinstall the air box lid.

The air filter lid is a giant pain to align. Start by inserting the plastic tabs near the engine. Carefully flex and align the box while making sure the air filter doesn't slip out of place. For me, using my right hand on the box top, and my left hand on the box bottom - I was able to line them up by gently flexing the bottom and top so they align.

8

Snap the 2 metal clips closed.
