Exactly as title says...

There doesn't look like there's much room for me to pull the filter out or anything.
What cleaning materials do I need?

Use a K&N filter recharge kit (local auto parts store)
Loosen hose clamp on filter,Remove drivers front tire, pull back inner fender liner,remove filter from acess from under fender.
Now use cleaning kit.

there was a thread about cleaning the stock k&n filter with club soda. might be in the DIY section. maybe you can try that method to clean yours.

while you have the inner fender well off . clean the oil squirter out for the SC . Vortech says to clean it every 3000 miles I think .
