Question C240 Air Filter Help

Can someone share the directions on how to access the air filters on the C240? I was able to remove the front plastic engine cover piece, but made no more progress than that. I assume since there are two intakes, there are two filters? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

The air filter box is removed by grabbing each side (one side in each hand) and pulling straight up. Don't be shy. There are four really big metal clips that hold it down and seat it to the plenum intake at the back. Make sure you've seated the plenum seal properly when you reinstall the box.

Once you have the airbox off, turn it over and see the filter housings on each side. Yes, there are two filters, and you'll need one of those star shaped screwdrivers to get the filters out.

You can reinstall the front piece of the airbox and leave it in place in the future... It is purely decorative.
