k..

when you are slammed.. you need to drive up on like 2 or 3 pieces of wood. 2 x 4's work best ...then jack up the car (its the only way i can fit my hydraulic jack under a slammed car)

remove the front left wheel, take out ...3 plastic clips, and 2 10mm bolts fron the bumper and lining.. and pull the inner fender lining outwards... then unscrew the filter, and replace!

^ on the money, if you would like to remove the entire tube to clean the inside (which I think you should) it will require quick removal of the battery)

best way to clean the inside of the tube is with a detail towel or any other clean towel you have lying around and just push it through, you will find dust in there so do it

hmm what's the recommended time to change filter/clean tube?

Where can we get a replacement filter. Or can you just remove the filter and wash it off with a hose and then let it dry.

Have you removed the front bumper before? It takes about 10-15 minutes to remove it. After it's out of the way, it's really easy to remove the intake tube and air filter.

Jack it up and turn the wheel to the right. Remove the two 8|10mm (can't remember) screws on the bottom side of the front bumper and 3 rivits (1 in between the two screws, and two in the wheel well). Pull out the front wheel well plastic and you're in.

If you just gonna turn the wheel, no need to jack it up. You can get in there and remove the clips and bolts that secure the wheel well on and get to the filter without removing the wheel.
