Emptied the glove compartment, pulled the plastic tab(s) on the side(s) of the glove box towards the center so the glove box can hinge all the way out and down, then reached in and slide out the little tray, removed the old filter, put in the new filter, slis the tray back in, pulled up the glove box lid so it would return to the normal open position, reinserted all of the junk, closed the lid.............done. Took about 5-10 minutes. |

Re: Cabin Air Filter
I have a 98 Accord. I have changed the a/c filters 3-4 times so far.
Honestly I don't recall ever CUTTING a brace. I do remember taking out several screws to remove a cross brace below the glove box. First time, it took me about an hour. Subsequent times about 30 minutes. Strongly recommend to do it in a garage or warm weather to increase the flex of the plastic panels. They WILL discolor or break if flexed too far especially in colder weather. "Elmo P.

The factory instructions for replacing the cabin air filter involve cutting that brace if it's there. I believe it even has relief marks stamped into it to assist said cutting. |

Thats funny! I've changed litterly hundreds of these and never had to cut any thing. The Odesey and the Pilot both have a plastic brace that needs removed. The 98 - 2002 Accords just have screws, some well hidden behind plastic covers (center console, and knee bolster). I recomend reading a service manual before attempting this. |

Re: Cabin Air Filter
Here is a link to a great set of instructions on changing them, and they use
a 1998 accord as an example. 98-02 Accords should be the same. http://www.troublecodes.net/articles/cabinair.shtml RoundRockMike "Wayne L" <wlogsdon@snip.net> wrote in message news:72b1f$463bee86$d1cc45f7$6663@snip.allthenewsg roups.com... > > "MLD" <MLD@verizon.net> wrote in message > news:vR4Yh.2714$YI1.1536@trndny04... >> Have a 2000 Accord V6.
