Transmission Filter: How to change on 1998 Accord - 4cyl

1998 Honda Accord EX 4cyl. - Automatic

I ordered a replacement Automatic Transmission Filter for my Honda. Please provide details on how that filter is changed.

Thanks for specifics.

remove transmission
crack it open
replace filter
seal it back up
install transmission

The 98-02 cars as originally equipped do not have a user servicable filter

You've got me stumped.... ;-)
Not only doesn't Honda offer a servicable replacement filter for their Automatic transmissions (thus YeuEmMaiMai's comment), but they didn't offer an SE package for 1998 either. It was either '97, '00 or '02.
The normal drill is the "Drain & Refill two step" or power flushing.
Honda's idea of filters is more like debris screens. Strategically located screen filters which are not servicable.
