can someone tell me how the heck to clean out the air filter that goes right into my fender? do i need to take the tire off and go in that way? please help.

Why not just disconnect the intake, and pull it off from the engine bay?

jklein

i started to do that but thought there may be a simpler way. how often should it be cleaned out?

No that way is pretty simple, I clean it out roughly every 9 thousnad miles, but I'm lazy. Truthfully it doesn't appear to be that dirty when I clean it though so I think it's fine, 6k if you want to be ****.

cool, thank you guys!

use k&n air filter recharger kit and be sure to oil up the filter

yea get that kit it works wonders.

i just crawl under the passenger side with a tiny flathead, unscrew the clamp and wiggle it out. it's a PITA to get it back in though. you might have unbolt the plastic piece there to get clearance.

I just took the bottom half of the cold air intake off and then let the filter drop out ...then after cleaning it, put it all back together

Just pull the filter out from under the car. You don't really need the K&N filter kit. Just clean it with some soap and water and set it out in the sun to dry for a while. When its good and dry, spray it with some Pam or some other kind of cooking oil. I do it about every 3 or 4 months and it seems to work perfectly fine.
