97 Impreza: Air Filter tough to get in???

Jun 10, 2004 4 Replies

I read the book. Just undo the clamps and replace the filter. Hmm. Mine is about impossible to open enough to get the filter out. There's the air intake duct, and a couple of stiff 3/4 inch hoses holding it in position. Don't want to break something.



What do you guys do??


I just muscle it about... if you think getting it off is a pain -- wait until you put it back in!

seriously; it'll alll go and noth>I read the book. Just undo the clamps and replace the filter.

Thanks, Josh.. did it. It's kinda a bad design.. But it works...

heh, just be thankful it isn't held down by six 3" long bolts like in one of my previous cars. Unless I was using a power screwdriver, it took a good 5 minutes just to take those screws out. ;)
