Air Cleaner?
Hey all,
I was trying to remove my air cleaner cover the other day, but couldn't seem to get it off. Is there a special trick to removing the cover.

Pull harder. Mine was "stuck" down the first time I removed it.

Re: Air Cleaner?
This trucks have air cleaners? 
Where? 
Thhe only one I know of is the inside air purification filter under the drsd dash. But that things electronic with the bipass tube that keeps all the crap outside the truck.

Re: Air Cleaner?
i tried to pull mine off today also, but could't unless i really twisted and yanked. Didn't feel like taking the bracket off that was above it and blocking it from coming off.

Re: Air Cleaner?
Two screws, one either side and it should just pull off. Also I unscrew the screws that are on the windshild water reservoir, it makes it a little easier to get the air cleaner lid off and out.
You may have to pry up a little on the lid to get it to come off.

Re: Air Cleaner?
I had trouble getting mine back on with a good seal until loosened that bracket above it. I think some assemblies must be wedged in tighter like mine, it was a bitc to get back on.

Re: Air Cleaner?
You need to pry and bend. It will not break but German engineered it is not.

Re: Air Cleaner?
I found that it also helps to remove the three screws that hold the entire assembly down. Then you can twist it out enough to lift the cover off more easily.
