Default Air filter cover

Anyone know if this cover comes off from the filter or do I have to take the two mounting screws out to access and clean filter?

Im guessing the cover has to come off first then there should be 3 screws under it that hold the filter

Yeah so apparently you just unscrew the whole cover counter clockwise... Whoops 😁

So the guy I bought it from says that the cover spins off counterclockwise. I can't get it to budge. Does the filter spin with it or just the black round piece?

The outter mounting plate that holds your filter attaches with 3 screws and there is a hole in the center that your cover screws into. The filter doesnt spin.

Get yourself some of that tool box drawer liner. It will give you a good grip and help turn it. You can get the stuff at wal mart too. It is used to line kitchen drawers. It is a foam that has a bunch of holes on it.

This is just me now but I'd bet that cover has a bolt on the other side and it screws right in that middle hole.

So if it were me, I'd grab that thing with both hands and just unscrew it.

That's just me though and there have been times in life that I have broke things.

And I'm not through breaking things in this life but I'd still unscrew it.

And like that little kid says, try harder!
