Replacing air cleaner element

I searched the forum expecting to find this to already be posted somewhere, but no luck. Could someone please post instructions on how to replace the air cleaner element?

The instructions in the 30,000-mile service thread for replacing the pollen filter were helpful. Thanks.

There are just a few clips around the air box, unclip them, pull out old filter and put a new one in. It's a 5 minute job.

I popped the hood, but which of the black housings is holding the air cleaner element isn't obvious. Is there a diagram or directions to locate it?

EDIT:

um... the pollen filter is located behind the glove box.

I think he has already done the pollen filter, he's looking to do the main air filter now.

Ah... well your use of clips had confused me. No clips on the air box, just screws.
