HELP WITH GREEN FILTER INSTALL!!

I must be blind or dumb... or both cause i've read every possible post on green filter install and that its basically easy , but I don't have a clue how to do it in my slk55.

basically i've taken off the air hose tube thats connected to the front of the car, and i've removed the front engine cover part. (the part that has the mb logo on it) i know exactly where the filter goes in cause i can see it once i removed the air pipe. .... but how the heck do you remove those 8 screws that are installed underneath. i can barely put my finger on some of them never mind a torx driver.... or am i seeing this wrong.

does anyone have pics or a step by step.... because i'm stuck at trying to take out the screws.... if those are even the screws to take off.

Remove the Red Oil Dipstick Cap First

If you don't remove the cap, you may knock it off and allow it to fall into the pan under the engine. Trust me -- been there, done that.

Same here. I had to get another from the dealer.
