How To: Air Filter Change :wall:
I decided to change my air filter today becuz it was due for a change...heres a quick little write-up, since i had nothing else to do ![Embarrassment](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)

First, you need to locate the air filter box...it's on the right hand side when you pop open your hood
![](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/4411/unclip3jn.jpg)
there are two clips holding onto the airbox bracket...no special tools are necessary...you just unclip these

heres the airbox bracket taken out...

THANK-GOD there is a write up for this. It's like teh hardest thing EVAR.
Not bad, dude. Just as a recommendation, you might want to include the filter size used for the Maxima to really drive the HOW-TO home.

Seriously. I really don't want to argue over my wanting to GIVE you an engine cover to paint, but if that's what you want to do....
