I went to change the air filter inside the stock air box above the TB.

Why Honda decided to use screws here instead of the clips that have been on every air box of the last 25 years is completely beyond me...

Center screw came out fine.

The outside screws broke through the plastic housing when I tried to remove them...

Is there some trick to this? Or is this just a crappy design?

Also now I need to order a new stock box... If anybody has one that they are not using, let me know!

 

Ive got a whole intake tract. Make me an offer.

Theres really no trick though, just back the screws out until you can lift it freely.

 

im fixin to take my stock 05 civic air box out? make me an offer?

theyre plastic so you have to be gentle with em. but yea, basically like everyone said, just take out the screws and lift it out.
