I assume you mean the a/c air filter. It's a little bit of a pain to get to. First you need to remove the glove box. You need to remove the damper on the right side, then remove the glove box stops on both sides. Remove the lower screws to remove the glove box. In the center is a plastic cross brace, rectangular standing up. It needs to be cut off with diagonal cutters up each side. (it will be reinserted using the bottom plastic tabs and the two screw holes on top). Remove the two screws on the right side to be used later.
Now remove the filter lid from the evaporator and pull out the A/C filter assembly. Remove the filter from the housing and replace it with your new filter. Slide the assembly back in and then use that rectangle cover, now turning it sideways with the tabs on the left and the screw holes aligning with the screws you removed. Install the 2 screws and then you can reinstall the glove box. That's it, not too bad.
