Air filter replacement

I couldnt find a DIY on how to do it. I mean if I game myself enough time I could figure it out. I seen the 2 latches on the front of the box but apparently there is more to it. What am I missing?

Well I didnt look in the DIY forum. I just assumed it would have been buried. I did a search and didnt return anything on a replacement so...

Renesis- How do you reset the ECU and is this something that will get noticed if I take the car in for work. I dont want to take a chance of voiding the warranty.

1) With the key in the off position, press and hold the odometer reset button and turn the key to on;
Continue to hold the odo button until the odometer reads "TEST" and then release.
2) Turn the key to off and repeat step one.

This will reset the entire PCM except the KAM which contains the sensor profiles amongst other things. You can reset it with the familiar procedure:

1) Turn the key to on
2) Depress the brake pedal rapidly 20 times in a row until the oil pressure gauge sweeps to halfway and back again.
