I haven't had any trouble with mine, I just unscrew the screws... and replace the filter. Have you got any pics of whats stopping it?

[tiksie]

Its like a small black rectangle peice, plastic! I try to get it out with a flat head screw driver but if I try anymore im gona snap em!

[95civic]

hmmm.. i wouldn try that personally... im assuming your using a phillips-head to try to undo the box?

[tiksie]

just looked again, theyre metal and they slide abit when I try to pull them off but theyre not coming off :S

I can move the screw abit and I can feel the bottom move when I do so, but it just moves a TINY bit and thats all :(

Yeah im using a phillips head.

From when I have removed the top of the box, it has been held down with screws, not bolts of any kind. So im 'assuming' that they would just be screwed in???

[tiksie]

I cant unscrew it thats the thing, thats the first thing i tryed, i just pulled the whole airbox off from the bolts and turned it upside down, theres this metal peice under it thats stopping the screw from turning, cant get that off either :S

Got it open finally :@

The screws were on too tight, but the thing is, they used to budge abit and not turn, ended up getting a 8mm spanner and opening it!!
