How to replace air filter?

[shagnat]

I've searched but found nothing (?).

So, what is involved in changing the air filter (engine)? I see the two little clips, but, do I need a screw driver in order to remove the hose clamp in order to change the air filter. I'm obviously not very mechanically inclined and don't want to screw something up. (2010 4.6L)

Section 7 of the owner's manual, about page 22 to 24, shows you how to replace the engine air filter.

Ok, I'm old and half blind. I cannot make out exactly what's involved. I see the two clips and undo those, but, do not find a 3rd clip. Unable to make out what the diagram shows regarding the complete removal of the cover to get to the air filter. H E L P ! ! !

Steve, unable to find anything on youtube. Searched there before posting here. There's a great video on how to replace the cabin air filter, but, not the engine air filter..... unless I used the wrong parameters when searching.

According to the video posted above, it looks like there are only two clips for the V8, and the other end is hinged. I couldn't help you because I have the 2009 V6, which has 4 clips.

I would recommend you use some good task lighting or flashlight, etc so you can see exactly where the clips are located. Also, it is a good idea to vacuum out the chamber right below where the filter goes, since there is bound to be some debris in there that will eventually get sucked up into your new filter.

Does anyone know the best place to buy the air filter?
What is the price from the Dealer?
I bought the cabin air filter from FilterHead.com and price was $15.
Thx

If you are willing to buy multiple items at one time to offset shipping cost, this is a good place:
http://www.newhyundaiparts.com/
This is run by Hilton Head Hyundai in South Carolina (you can call their parts department to get same people).
