4.6 V8 engine air filter change

[rtburgess1]

Trying to figure out how to open the engine air filter casing on the V8 (2011), but I must be stupidly overlooking something. The owner's manual appears to show 3 release clips, but I can only find 2 - located at the rear of the casing. Releasing just those does not free-up the casing. Can any one tell me if there is a 3rd clip, and where it's located? I've searched the forum for info unsuccessfully on this. Thanks in advance for any help! Bob Burgess

I noticed the same thing when I went to check mine. I'd be very interested in seeing the response to your question.

I can't understand how the book could show 3 clips and the air filter cover only has 2 clips???

There are only the two clips in back. Release both of them and then push 'back' on the cover. It will slide out from under the 'clip' in the front.
