How To Change In-Cabin Air Filter 01 Accord

If you buy a filter, there may be instructions in the box. Or you could check the Web sites for Fram, Purolator, etc. Purolator's site had instructions for my '00 Accord and '01 Odyssey.

47K is a long time. Even the recommended interval may be too long, depending on how dirty the air is where you are.

I too have a 2001 Honda Accord and am in the midst of the same process. Although the replacement instructions provided on the websites given at

arehelpful (if not totally accurate/decipherable), the thing I am havinggreat difficulty with and is not covered in any detail in the above-mentioned resources, is how to remove the glove compartment once allthe relevant screws have been removed. Mine seems to be 'hanging up'on the left-hand side in the area of the compartment light and noamount of 'convincing' has so far yielded results. While there ismention of disconnecting the light (I assume once the compartment hasbeen 'freed'), it appears that the light housing is what is preventingthe compartment from clearing the screw mount. Is there a 'secret/trick' to this? Thanks in advance for any help. Balls

Believe me, if I had personal experience with this, I'd post it.

My only hands-on experience with cabin filters is the '02 Odyssey. I had no such trouble as what you're experiencing, so I can't offer many tips.

Have you tried lifting the glove box up?
