Hi Folks,

I'm having great difficulty changing the air filter on my 2003 chevy
venture.  The filter box is situated sideways and to the side where the
covering and air filter need to be removed there is a hefty coolant pipe,
some hefty electrical wiring and an accordian-like hose that connects from
the box to the engine which is very small and very un-maneuverable.  I tried
removing this accordian-like hose, but the lip of the box covering is too
long and I would not be able to get it off without some significant force (I
do not want to break anything).  Has anyone figured out a way to change this
thing?

Thanks!

Yes, remove the (as you describe it) accordian-like hose.  Then it's
quite easy to remove the air box cover.  You will notice that the
air filter cover has tabs on the bottom that engage holes in the
bottom of the air box.  In order to make things easier for
reassembly, I always lubricate the air filter seal so that the
cover will slide easily along the air filter as you install the cover
and not rip the seal on the air filter.
