how to remove the CAI filter to clean

JASonic · April 6th, 2007, 08:10 PM

I going to go ahead and ask this at the risk of being called a moron. I'd rather do it right.

I have a K&N FIPK CAI. It needs cleaned badly becuase of the dust and pollen down here. I had it installed by my mechanic so I wasn't in the shop to watch installation.

I figured that the filter would just slip off when I loosened the band. Is that the only thing that needs loosened to remove the filter? I'd rather ask than pull the SOB and end up breaking it. I loosened it and gave it a tug and it didnt budge. Before I go yanking that sucker, I wanted to make sure that was the only thing I needed to loosen.

Thanks for advice in advance....

I realize that. If the comment is in fun than great becuase I have a sense of humor. If its sarcasm in an attempt to make the author feel smart and me look stupid, than thats different. I really like my car. Unfortunately, I can't dedicate 12 hours a day to become a certified mechanic on the thing. Thats why I use this forum. To learn and make sure I'm not being too ARROGANT and screw something up.

thats all

I'm not trying to make u look stupid or something and yeah I know it's also hard 4 me to work on my car bcause there's not so much time

232stang · April 6th, 2007, 09:12 PM

im just picking fun. sometimes people take my comments in the wrong manner i mean its the internet hard to get your point across.
i love working on my car. but can only do it on weekends and holidays.

Peace. As I heard on Southpark..."I don't have sand in my vagina Cartman"!!!

I'd rip on me too if I wasnt so tired.

Thanks for the heads up on the screw....

one thing you might want to invest in, if you want to be a weekend mechanic, would be a haynes repair manual. you can get one at a local auto store.
