1997 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual 158,00 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I'd like to replace the air filter on my 1997 Honda Accord.

However, the front part of the air filter housing is blocked by a plastic exhaust that appears to fit into a pipe.

This plastic piece must be removed so I can remove the air filter housing cover, but I see no way to remove the piece other than to yank it out.

What is the safe and correct way to reach the air filter?

Thanks.

 

It's got a little flap on it right?

Just pull it up and wiggle it out.

 

The tube should pull right out.

 

That's the one. I will commence wiggling.

If I break anything, I'll send the bill to 02 accord.

Thanks!

 

Let me clarify:

I didn't say it will.

Haha

Yeah it really isn't too bad, if I recall you gotta wiggle it past the battery as there's a hump that juts outwards about halfway down.

 

other than taking that little black pieceout just some screws and clips and u can replace the filter. pretty easy and straight foreward
