Thanks for posting. One observation, though: This is a classic example of how vehicle manufacturers are intentionally designing what should be owner servicable components to make them unnecessarily complex to service. This either deters an owner from servicing it or increases the chargeable time for the shop that does service it. It's an air filter. At one time, it was a simple task of spinning a butterfly nut to open the air filter housing. Then it became a housing fastened on with clips you could undo by hand without the need for tools. Now with this you need a longer extension than comes in most socket sets and the DIY owner has to disconnect/reconnect electronics. None of this is beyond the average DIYer, of course, but it's simply an unnecessarily complex component.

+Pawpaw Stew Thanks for the tip!

Good video. Not necessary to disconnect the mass airflow electrical wire, especially since you did not disconnect the airflow tube. There is enough room to remove and replace air filter.

What tool was she using to unscrew the bolts?

[@av348]

Can anyone tell me the name of the tool for the long screw driver?

[@seanhoward8025]

DON’T use a ratchet!!! A hand Torx driver is sufficient. It’s a plastic housing with self tapping screws…that’s how every one of these gets stripped out. And the housing is $120 to replace.

I like that you show a female mechanic. Women make up 2% of all mechanics in the United States.

1st thing I'd do is go go Lowe's or Home Depot & replace those torx head screws with Philips screws.

Go Robertson.
