thanks for the write up! just replaced this filter today and it was easy as pie!

 

I need to do this asap. AC stinks

 

The trick is to have a long MAGNETIC screwdriver for those deep screws. I tried using a standard screwdriver and accidentally dropped one of the screws into the abyss... It's gone now.

 

Did this today. Video was awesome help. Yes it's definitely easier with the right tools which I did not have but was able to manage with a regular screw driver. Had a little bit of a fight dislodging the glovebox after all the screws were removed but all in all went well. Thanks to the OP.

 

My filter should arrive soon and this should help for the installation.
Too bad its not like my wifes '03 Accord. No tools needed , no screws to loose.
Open the glovebox , squeeze the sides , drop the door and replace the filter , close the glovebox. A 30 second job.

 

I changed my filter the other day, used a socket wrench with extensions and the phillips bit. Pretty easy job, although I had the squeeze the bracket closer to the left side of the glove box in order to get the rear screw to go back in easily. I bought a Wix filter and there were no directional arrows so I'm assuming it can be put in either way.

 

does anybody know the size of the magnetic philips you need? Im thinknig of buying one just for this

 

Do you have a mechanics pick up magnet ? I used a normal long screwdriver and had the magnet laid in the same area.

 

U ever find that carbon charged filter? How much did u grab it for and from where?

I'm leaning towards the CCF cause my vents stink.

Thanks.

 

Simple as pie !! Thx

 

Followed the Filterheads video on youtube and it was easy! Had a bit of trouble screwing back the glove box into position for some reason :s First time for everything!

 

Should? That's relative. I have allergies. I change mine once a year.

 

I went with the Fram Fresh Breeze from Rockauto (FRAM Part # CF10743 ). It's carbon charged and also used baking soda. $20 plus shipping, working out well so far. To make the shipping cost worth it, I also ordered some Wix engine air filters and Bosch oil filters at the same time.

 

Came across a DIY on how to change the cabin filter, i forgot i had one, so i ordered one, and it came today and i changed it, and the old one was >_<

 

I'd say that one was due!
