Stupid Air Filters

1. Changing the Air Filter
I go to install my K&N this weekend and I thought, well there's no DIY on the forum so it must be pretty easy... what a PIA. I couldn't squeeze out the air filter (without destroying it) by just taking out the "one screw" that holds it to the frame, so I ended up having to take apart the whole intake assembly to change it; WTF, does everyone have to do this?

2. Changing the In Cabin AC Air Filter
This came with some instructions, which basically told me I have to remove the entire front passenger side lower dash. The first part was removing the glove box door which upon inspection looked like I had to remove the 20 felt tipped screws to remove the "glove box bucket" in order to get access to remove the hinge pins... That’s where I said “screw this” and gave up...

Is there an easier way to do this BS?

For the engine air filter I didnt remove the whole assembly but I remember it being a tight squeeze to get the old filter out and the new one in. There are 4 snap clips on the airbox that need to be undone

I havent done the in cabin filter yet but I have taken apart the entire dash area for my carputer installation. You dont need to take off the glovebox "bucket". There are 4 upper screws on the top part of the glovebox that you remove and the whole assembly will then be free

It's not that hard for the cabin filter, search up DIY
