(I have a 2000 Accord, and instructions appear to be similar - removing
the metal support is required).
Good luck.

Like the instructions say, you'll have to use a hacksaw or good diagonal
cutters to remove the plastic brace (if nobody has ever changed the
filter . .Phew) It's only there to strengthen the dash while it was
assembled.

That's not a metal support; that's a plastic support that gets snipped
out.
