2004 Civic-Air filter housing

Hi guys,

Well, the previous owner of my car changed the air filter almost 20k miles ago so I decided to change it. I ordered KN filter and today I was hoping that I could change it quickly without problem, although I have read a couple of things about the problems of housing. Anyway, the screws are not rusted or sth but I guess they were tightened so I was able to open 2 of them but there are 3 more as you know.

What is your suggestion? should spray WD-40 and wait? instead of using screwdriver should I try nippers?

I need help

Thanks

No nippers, lol whatever they are. That will probably strip them. Use a penetrating oil like pb blaster. Use the correct size socket and a long extension. Be carefule many times the plastic pieces underneath them brakes.
