Asking for current range of charges to change air filter in ‘97 xk8. Have watched videos, read the instructions...and holy cow. I’ve changed out air filters on my cars, but this one is crazy. Have to take the whole housing out to open the compartment!!??

I'd say take the documented procedure at face value, and decide accordingly. The caveats I can think of are:
- As already pointed out, the air box is mounted on rubber posts (instrumounts). The nut can easily be removed but be sure to hold its hex back plate with a wrench, otherwise it might shear off. Or go ahead and order a couple of replacements from the rock place, WAY cheaper then the dealer.
- If you decide to remove the intake tube, be sure to reinstall it low enough. If it sits too high, the accordion section rubs on the underside of the hood liner and will develop air leaks over time.

Very timley I just checked into this yesterday and wondered who the heck designed that 1 clip, then who approved it. Isn't the point of fast east off clips, to be fast and easy? Thank you.
