Has anyone replaced their Air Filter (NOT CABIN) on a 2001 Civic? If so, is there a screw on the air filter cover that requires some special techniqe to remove? Because when attempting to remove said air filter cover, there is one screw that won't come out - the threaded part is spinning around. How does one remove the cover to replace the filter? Any help is appreciated. phxgirl

Does this screw re-engage upon turning clockwise?
Those screws unscrew but are held (loosely attached) to the cover by a washer/locknut. You should just need to lift/pry a little on the cover, and it will raise up and expose the filter.
Looks like the following, right?
