Its pretty easy..first you unsnap the 4 clips at the bottom of the box, theres 2 on each side, then there should be two 10mm bolts on the right side that need to come off..then the top part of the box should come off from the intake hose..are you planning on taking apart the whole thing or just replacing the filter?
