Default air filter help

I know nothing about cars and am not mechanically inclined at all. I bought my 01 cobra with the kn filter on it and it needs a recharge. Where can I find detailed instructions (preferably in english and with illustrations) on how to get the damn filter out?

there was one bracket. it was crooked, stuck, and jammed by whoever didnt take the time to put it back correctly. I had to disassemble the intake to get everything fixed and then everything went into place with ease. Thanks everyone for the help !
