changing the air filter

Ok, I tried to drop a K&N air filter into my TSX today and was stymied by the big hose which connects the air box element to the engine. Could someone point me in the direction of basic instructions for changing the air filter? I tried the search feature here but I couldn't find anything. I know, I am a real car wizard.

just loosen the four corner screws, then lift the cover - see pic.

That big hose comes off real easily too, but a simple tilt up on the air box lid should do the trick.

Thanks for the post, Mg7726. For some reason, I could not pull the air cleaner housing cover up nearly far enough. It felt like it might break.

You asked for the basics:

From the 2004 Service Manual, p 11-258:

Remove bolts and clamp
Remove air cleaner
Install the parts in reverse order of removal

Um...

You didn't say what issue you are having with the big hose connecting the air box to the engine. It attaches to the airbox via a worm clamp.
