Yeah, sure.....

1) Undo the two screws (phillips, IIRC) which are along the bulkhead side of the airbox.
2) Undo the one screw (flat head OR phillips) on the jubilee clip so the clip is loose enouigh to seperate the pipes.
3) Gently ease the piping apart.
4) Tilt the lid upwards towards the front/bumper of the car, so it frees itself from the plastic lugs (which are along the 'front'/bumper side of the airbox).
5) Replace filter.
6) Reverse the above procedure. :smile:
