Can I change air filters without removing the full enclosure assembly?
I know the conventional method is to remove the upper firewall, then undo sensors and loosen clamps to remove the plenum, then undo and remove the air filter boxes, swap out the filters, and go back the way you came. I think I saw a video showing that it was possible to just undo the air boxes from the sides and slide the old filters out and new ones in. Will that work?

The time saving by doing the above is 10minutes as compared to original method of removing the box. Not worth the trouble. But the answer to your question is YES, it is possible.
