2005 Buick Lesabre 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive 23000 miles
My question is a simple one, but if ya don't know...ya don't know, so I'm asking.
I recently purchased this car. It's excellent condition, just need normal maintenance items completed. I changed the oil and filter with no problems and reset the "DIC" for the engine oil to 100%.
Next I attempted to change the air intake filter which is mounted near the left headlight. The holder has two clips on the top of the filter holder. I loosened the two clips and thought that the air filter holder would come apart and I could change out the old filter with a new and close it up. That didn't happen. When I undone the two clips on top of the air filter holder...I couldn't get the cover open enough to get the air filter out. Am I overlooking something else which should be disconnected, or loosened to remove the old filter? I just got the car and am not familiar with it at this time. Any help is greatly appreciated.
