air filter replacing

[Ron Wainwright]

  Kneale

  I did it it was a PITA
 replacing the blower motor & heater core was easier
than the air filter!
 Just moved the light forward a little allso loosend
the washer bottle and of course the plumbing around
the air box and was able to move the air box so I
could put the air cleaner in the box then manuvered it
back into place.
Thanks for any help you and the list provided.
