K&N Filter replacement
I would like to get instructions on how to replace the OEM air cleaer with a K&N filter. I looked under the hood of the CLK500 and I'm lost, don't know where to start. Help!

Just the element, but where do I begin
the engine compartment hides everything so well that I do not see or recognize the air box. first where should i look for the box and once i locate it, are special tools required? i'm new at this. pardon my ignorance.

the 2003 CLK500 has left and right air intake ducts
but the K&N product specs state 1 element is required so i bought only 1. i'll look again under the hood. it can't be this difficult to change out the air cleaner element right?

But it looks like you would still need find where the filter is located, and expose it by removing trim.
Only hard the first time! Never again...:p
